Guyer Dual Credit

2025-2026

What is the difference between Advanced placement (Ap) and dual credit?

Both AP and dual credit offer opportunities for gaining college credit. Earning college credit from an AP course is dependent upon a student’s score on an AP exam at the end of the course. Typically, a 3, 4 or 5 on an AP exam will earn college credit, in state or out of state as AP is nationally recognized. Each school will determine which score is required to award credit. Dual Credit has the potential to earn college credit with a passing grade. Any public university/college in Texas will accept dual credit. Depending on the major of the student, it may count as elective credit. Outside the state of Texas, dual credit may not be recognized.

How do you know if dual credit is a good fit for you?

Work backwards! If students have schools in mind that they are interested in attending, see if dual credit will transfer to those schools. This can simply be done by accessing the transfer equivalency website for a school or by calling the office of admissions. Working backwards will ensure that students are taking dual credit courses that will earn college credit for schools they plan to attend.

Dual credit transferability

TSIA 2 Testing Information and score requirements

To qualify for dual credit, students must meet certain testing requirements to ensure college readiness. Students need a qualifying score on the TSIA2, SAT, or ACT. If you missed the opportunity to test at Guyer on March 5th, you could still take the TSIA2 at your convenience at any of the local colleges (UNT, TWU, or NCTC). Both virtual and on-campus testing options are available. Be sure to visit the testing websites of these colleges to schedule your exam.

Here are the testing websites for your reference:

TWU: https://twu.edu/testing/texas-success-initiative/
NCTC: https://www.nctc.edu/testing
UNT: https://studentaffairs.unt.edu/counseling-and-testing-services/testing-services/exams/tsi-accuplacer.html
Students interested in English or History courses only need to take the ELAR portion of the TSIA2.
Students interested in Math, Biology, or Economics at UNT or TWU only need to take the Math portion of the TSIA2.
Depending on the courses students plan to take, they may need to take both portions of the TSIA2.

If you took the exam on March 5th and did not meet the minimum required score, you may retake the exam at any of the colleges listed above. If you took the ELAR portion and did not pass either the multiple-choice or essay section, you will only need to retake the section you did not pass. The TSIA2 exam can be taken as many times as necessary to meet the score requirements.

The scores listed below have to be met to pass the TSI exam.
