At the successful conclusion of dual credit courses, students receive one grade that grants both high school and college credit. As such, the course content andrigor are comparable to those of the same course taught at a college to the institution’s other students.  \nNorthside partners with Alamo Colleges for both Academic and Workforce dual credit course offerings.  \nAcademic dual credit courses are considered applicable to the college’s 42-hour core curriculum listing and/or a foreign language course and are awarded through Northwest Vista College (NVC) .  \nWorkforce dual credit courses are considered applicable to the college’s Professional and Technical Education programs and are awarded through Northwest Vista College, St. Philip’s College, Palo Alto College, and San Antonio College.  \nWhat is Dual Credit?  \nDual credit classes are classes taken in high school that simultaneously award high school and college credits recognized by the state of Texas. This is a great opportunity because the dual credit program is completely free of charge! Students could potentially graduate from high school with up to 42 hours of college credit before even stepping onto a college campus. (That's over an entire year already completed.)  \nDual credit courses are based on college curriculum and taught by high school teachers approved and hired as adjunct college instructors. Students take all of their dual credit courses at their home high school campus.  \nStudents earn one grade for the course. The grade earned in the high school course is the grade that appears on the college transcript.  \nAcademic dual credit courses generally transfer to most Texas public universities. They are not always accepted at private universities or out-of-state colleges. Workforce dual credit courses may not transfer to Texas public universities. Because of this, it is always important that students consult with the school they want to attend about transfer credits.  \nBack to table of contents  3  \nWhy Dual Credit?  \nEnrolling in dual credit courses offers many benefits. Students who successfully complete a dual credit course can:  \n● Increase their likelihood of graduating high school and enrolling in college  \n● Earn college credit before graduating from high school  \n● Develop essential college readiness skills  \n● Complete common college prerequisites early  \n● Reduce the overall cost of college tuition and fees  \nAccess academic support services and facilities from both the high school and the college  \n● Gain experience with college-level coursework in a supported environment  \n● Build confidence and take on the responsibilities of a college student  \n● Accelerate their path to a degree and entry into the workforce  \nTypes of Dual Credit  \n\n| ACADEMIC | WORKFORCE |\n| --- | --- |\n| Academic Dual Credit courses are | Workforce Dual Credit","cbCaipeqmUqN7B2i","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipeqmUqN7B2i","pdf",988061,23,"English","# Introduction\n## What is Dual Credit?\n## Why Dual Credit?\n## Types of Dual Credit\n## How is Dual Credit Different from AP and OnRamps?\n## How many Dual Credit courses can I take?\n## Choosing the Right Dual Credit Courses: Why It Matters\n## Make Your Credits Count\n## Courses Offered\n### Academic Courses\n### CTE Academic vs. Workforce Dual Credit\n### CTE Dual Credit Courses\n## Program Requirements\n### Eligibility Criteria\n### Application Process: Overview\n### Application Process: Step by Step\n### Requirements for Continued Enrollment (over 15 hours) in Dual Credit Courses\n### Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 (TSIA2)\n## Other Policies and Procedures\n### Grading\n### Drops/Withdrawals\n### Failures\n### Transcript Requests\n# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)","[{\"question\":\"What is dual credit and how is college credit earned?\",\"answer\":\"Dual credit classes are taken in high school that award both high school and Texas-recognized college credits.
