!! Lone Star College 2025-2026 fees for Dual Credit courses. !!

3 hr course will cost $129

4 hr course will cost $172

Hours for a course can be determined by the second number for the course; for example, HIST 1301, this course is a 3 hr course at Lone Star College.

This is still a low price for a college course, plus it is a fabulous opportunity to save money and earn a degree faster. In addition, CFISD does purchase the textbooks for dual credit classes taken in the school year, so that will be another opportunity where you can save money while earning dual college credit in high school. Some college textbooks can range from $75 upward to $200+ dollars.

Lone Star College does offer a payment plan.

Will My Dual Credit Classes Transfer to College?

It is a MYTH that Dual Credit will not transfer outside of Texas!

All colleges are required to have a Transfer Course Equivalency Guide on their websites. It can be a little tricky to find it, but all you have to do is Google "Name of College Transfer Course Equivalency".

Ex: "University of Arkansas Transfer Course Equivalency" = https://registrar.uark.edu/transfer-and-test-credit/course-equivalencies-search.php

From there, you will search by SENDING Institution, Lone Star College System. You will put in the name of the Lone Star course you completed, ENGL 1301 for example, and then you will see the course that the University of Arkansas will give you credit for (ENGL 1013, Composition I).

If you are planning to attend a college in Texas, you can use this site: https://www.tccns.org/

The University of Houston launches a Transfer Credit Estimator

Dual Credit Students and Disabilities Services

It is important for LSC Dual Credit students to know how to request accommodations and who to talk to. See the steps below to get started:

New Students: Getting Started:

1. Self-Identify. Contact the LSC Disability Services Office where you are taking classes and self-identify as a student with a disability. Visit Campus Disability Services Offices.

2. Request accommodations online through VDAC.

The LSC Virtual Disability Assistance Center (VDAC) is the Lone Star College cloud-based software hosting a secure location that will process and hold disability services requests and records for students with disabilities at all LSC campuses.

3. Provide documentation.

Students are responsible for providing documentation of disability. Because K-12 and Higher Education laws differ, it is important to note that K-12 documentation may not fully satisfy LSC documentation requirements. To download Medical Verification Form or to review Document Guidance or for other Disability Services, see Additional Resources.

Returning Students: A New Semester

Lone Star College Policy states that students must identify themselves each semester as individuals requesting accommodation based on a qualifying disability. This is because the type of class (e.g., online, lecture) and the subject (e.g., Math, Art) are just a few items considered when developing accommodations.

Once accommodation eligibilities are approved, LSC students log in to the Virtual Disability Assistance Center (VDAC) to select which eligibilities they will apply to each class.
