Dual Credit Courses

Dual credit courses allow students to earn high school and college credit simultaneously.  Dual credit courses carry a 1.0 quality point weighting above CP level courses.  Students must have a 3.0 GPA in order to meet admission criteria for dual credit courses for our partnering higher education institutions.

If a student meets the prerequisites for the course and enrolls in the program they would take both classes in each cluster in one semester.  Students are not able to take only one class within one cluster. As a result, they would earn credit for two college courses (6 college credit hours).  They would earn 1 credit for each course on their high school transcript.

The following dual credit courses are in partnership with the University of South Carolina-Lancaster, York Technical College, or Winthrop University.  Your child may qualify for S.C. Lottery Tuition Assistance which would cover their tuition. If your child is not eligible for this scholarship there is a fee associated with these courses, payable to the institution.  Please consult with prospective colleges to determine if and how they would accept these courses upon enrollment in college.   Students are responsible for the costs of textbooks for these courses.  The Lottery Tuition Assistance does NOT cover the costs of books.  Students will not be eligible for tuition assistance if they are enrolled in two dual credits from two different higher-ed institutions in the same semester.
