Greetings,
Our district and campus leaders are working to ensure that we provide optimal support to our dual credit students during this time. As we know many of our students are effected by the transition of their dual credit courses from lecture based to an online platform. Students will receive email updates from Dallas County Community College District to the email address listed in the eConnect. We encourage students and parents to read all email communication from Dallas County Community College District and the Duncanville High School dual credit support team including administration and teachers.
As students prepare for the classes to launch online March 30th the information below will aid in this process.
Additionally, we would like for all students to be aware of important dates from DCCCD. Please note that if a student would like to drop a course the deadline to drop is May 13, 2020. Students should reach out to the campus dual credit liaison, Ms. Kimberly Williams and their academic counselor to initiate the process to drop a course.
