many of our courses offer dual enrollment - but what does that mean?
DUAL means you get high school credit and college credit.
This means you, as a High School student, may earn 3 college credits at HCC by taking the course.
You must follow the process to sign up for the college credit. The Jumpstart/Dual Enrollment office from Howard County Public School System will push out that information when time to sign up for the college credit. It is typically around a month after the class begins. The fees are waved by HCPSS for the college credit. A true bargain for a college course!
IF you receive free and reduced meals, there is no cost to the college credit!
You never have to attend HCC, your transcript will be held there but you may take the credit to any college in the future.
There are NO ADDITIONAL assignments for students that are dually enrolled, all work is incorporated into the courses.
