How does the Dual Credit portion of the program work?
For the Dual Credit portion of the program, students receive one credit for high school and one credit for college. Please note that when using this college credit, students must consider pathways as an option and not all college courses will be eligible for all full-time programs. For example, a Criminology college credit will count as a college credit but will not be eligible to be used for a full-time Animal Care program however a general education college course such as Anthropology would be if the full-time program requires a general education elective. Please note students will only receive a credit for high school and college upon passing the course.
