Dual credit is a system in which an eligible high school student successfully completes a college course(s) that is paired to a high school course required for graduation and receives credit for the course on both the college and the high school transcripts.

High school students in the ninth through twelfth grades who complete the dual credit steps to enroll.

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered at the high school through College Board. The student participates in an AP course and then must be successful on the AP exam to earn college credit.

Dual credit courses allow eligible high school students to enroll in a college course that is paired to a high school course required for graduation. Upon successful completion of the course, the student receives credit for the course on both the college and the high school transcripts.

Students will receive college credit and high school credit simultaneously.  Because of this, students can graduate from high school with transferable college credits and save money by reducing the time to degree completion. Students may jump-start their undergraduate coursework or workforce degrees. Students also have access to college student support services in high school to aid them in a smooth transition to college or workforce after graduation.

Dual credit courses may be taught on the Lee College campus, on the high school campus, on a satellite campus, or online. The high school counselor or dual credit advisor can assist with finding out the location of the courses.

Course offerings vary by high school. Courses offered for dual credit must be in the Lee College core curriculum, career and technical education courses, or foreign language courses. 

Dual credit courses that are completed as part of an approved early college high school, must be in the Lee College core curriculum, career and technical education courses, foreign language courses or a course that satisfies specific degree plan requirements leading to the completion of a certificate, AA, AS, or AAS degree program.

Colleges may not offer remedial or developmental courses for dual credit.

Dual credit instructors could be a regularly employed faculty members of Lee College or could be a high school teacher that has met the same standards and approval procedures used by Lee College.

It depends. A dual credit student attending classes on a college campus is required to provide proof of bacterial meningitis vaccination to Lee College. However, dual credit students who are taking their courses on a high school campus only or online are not required to show proof of bacterial meningitis vaccination.

The instructor of record assigns the grades.

It varies between high schools. It is up to the high school board to decide on weighted GPA.

If a student earns an F in a dual credit course, he/she will not receive high school or college credit for the course. The student will also have to follow the Lee College dual credit policy to continue into any other dual credit courses.

Transferability of courses is always up to the receiving institution. Academic courses from the Lee College core curriculum where a student earns a C or higher are guaranteed to transfer to any other Texas public college or university. However, these courses may not count toward a specific degree program or transfer to an out-of-state school. Students should always check with the university they plan to attend to determine the transfer credit policies.

While dual credit students receive a discounted rate of tuition, it varies by high school on who pays the tuition to Lee College. Textbooks are generally up to the student to purchase. However, some school districts pay for all or partial tuition and/or textbooks. Please check with your high school counselor or dual credit advisor for confirmation.

The U.S. Department of Education has stated that if a student is attending a post-secondary institution, at any age, the rights under FERPA have transferred to the student. However, in a situation where a student is enrolled in both a high school and a post-secondary institution, the two schools may exchange information on that student as stated in the MOU.

If the student is a minor, the parents still retain the rights under FERPA at the high school and may inspect and review any records sent by the post-secondary institution to the high school.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA calls for the protection of a student’s records once he/she turns 18 or enrolls in college. Dual credit students fall under this classification. Colleges must maintain the confidentiality of academic records and follow all federal and state laws governing the release of academic records. In accordance with these laws, a college will not permit access to or the release of personally identifiable information contained in academic records to any party without the
written consent of the student.

Students may submit a Student Release of Records (FERPA form) to our Office of Admissions and Records.

The first step is to meet with your high school counselor, since dual credit courses count toward high school graduation requirements. The counselor will communicate with the Dual Credit office to drop the course on the college side. Please be aware that too many drops can affect your financial aid after high school graduation. You can find the session and drop dates on the Lee College Academic Calendar.

Yes. The high school determines whether the summer course(s) will count toward high school graduation requirements. Please start by talking to your high school counselor and your dual credit advisor.
