Dual Enrollment

 

 

Welcome to ACC Dual Enrollment

The Dual Enrollment Program provides an opportunity for eligible high school students to enroll in college courses and receive both high school and college credit for the course. While dual enrollment courses are mostly taught on the high school campuses, students can also earn credit on the ACC college campus. To see more on ACC Dual Enrollment click here.

Why Dual Enrollment?

  • Save Time — Earn high school credit and college credit for the same course!
  • Fullfill Requirements — Satisfy requirements for the Texas High School Distinguished Achievement Plan.
  • Transferability — Academic Dual Enrollment courses will transfer with a grade C or higher to any Texas public university.
  • Save Money — Students that take Dual Enrollment courses on their high school campus save up to 75% in tuition.

 

What Qualities Should a Dual Enrollment Student Possess?

According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, approximately 180,000 high school students are participating in dual enrollment programs. The successful student should:

  • be highly motivated
  • be able to stick to a goal
  • make above average grades
  • possess good study habits
  • understand that the amount of work necessary to succeed in college courses will be greater than that of high school courses.

In addition, dual credit courses become a part of a student's permanent college transcript.
