Dual Credit Information

Background

Goals for Off-campus/Dual Credit Students in Mathematics: Off-Campus/Dual Credit students, or any students either on or off ACC campuses, should experience a college class equivalent to a college class on a college campus, with a college culture. The classes should maintain the same academic standards as regular campus classes. The classes should use the same curriculum and similar instructional designs as designated in the current mathematics manual. Appropriate college behavior is required for students to remain in the course.

Guide for High Schools

Austin Community College Mathematics Department will consider adding a mutually beneficial college level mathematics course on a high school campus. High schools should consider the following:

• • Students are required to meet the prerequisites for the intended course.

  • Students should also consider if this is the best educational opportunity for them at this time.

  • A minimum number of students will be required to enroll in order for the class to run.

  • ACC Dual Credit organizes these requests and makes the requests to the mathematics department.

The new course offering should not target the student population from currently offered ACC Mathematics courses in the area. The Mathematics Department requests a list of interested student names with eligible ACC placement scores and available time for college course study, before considering adding a new course in a high school. Student preparedness and scheduling have been found to be major barriers for Dual Credit student success.
