DC3’s Dual/Concurrent Credit program partners with area high schools to provide students with a head start on their college education. Through this program, eligible high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors have the opportunity to earn college credit while still enrolled in high school. Participation is subject to the guidelines established by their high school.
Dual credit students must have a qualifying reading score on file to demonstrate college readiness in order to enroll in any DC3 course (excluding Career and Technical Education courses). Dual credit students are not eligible to enroll in preparatory, review, or ESL courses. Additionally, some specific courses may require further placement testing and/or multiple measures to meet prerequisite requirements.
Dual credit students are held to the same placement and prerequisite requirements as traditional college students, and courses maintain the same content, expectations, and academic rigor as those taught on DC3’s campus. Students may take approved General Education (prerequisite/core) courses at the tuition and fees listed below or enroll in Excel in CTE (Career and Technical Education) programs to develop valuable workforce skills.
There are three ways students can receive college credit while still in high school:
If you or your student are interested in enrolling in DC3’s Dual/Concurrent academic or workforce classes, please contact your high school counselor, outreach coordinator, or the DC3 Dual Credit Coordinator.

If a student is attending a postsecondary 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 postsecondary institution, the two schools may exchange information on that student. If the student is under 18, the parents still retain the rights under FERPA at the high school and may inspect and review any records sent by the postsecondary institution to the high school. Additionally, the postsecondary institution may disclose personally identifiable information from the student’s education records to the parents, without the consent of the eligible student, if the student is a dependent for tax purposes under the IRS rules.
