BHA Sophomores

What you do in 10th grade directly impacts which classes you can take in 11th grade!

Dual Credit offerings for Sophomores- Classes begin the summer after 10th grade!

If you want to take dual credit summer classes, you must do well in semester 1 of 10th grade! In fact, only students with an overall numeric average of 90% and above for Semester 1 can take summer dual credit classes.

Want to take dual credit classes next year? Then you must get an overall 90% numeric average in 10th grade

Summer Dual Credit courses (summer after 10th grade). Eligible students will take two dual credit classes through Dallas College at Richland Campus in the months of June/July.

Textbooks:

BHA is not part of the IncludEd Program for the following reasons:

• Students can find deals on textbooks or rent them, which will save money

• Not all professors use their textbooks

• It requires all students to pay over $200 per semester

• We don't have the option of including only some students in the program. Its an all-or-nobody deal

*We are hoping, as they continue to evolve and revisit their processes, that there will be more flexibility in their program. Until then, we are keeping the same policy we have had for many graduating classes- Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks and supplies.

Tips:

1. If available, ALWAYS buy used textbooks!!! At the end of the semester, go back and resell it to the bookstore.

2. There are options to rent textbooks too. You will have to search for this option.
