ADDITIONAL DUAL CREDIT RESOURCES

Why dual credit?

Reduced-tuition dual credit courses are classes that high school juniors and seniors can take through a South Dakota university or technical college that students can earn both high school credit and college credit with the same class. There are many perks to taking dual credit classes such as saving money on college tuition, accelerate your time for degree completion, and academic college experience. 

Does it transfer?

The best way to determine if a dual credit course will transfer to the school you want to attend is to contact the school directly. 

One resource to check the course's portability is TRANSFEROLOGY.

Dual Credit Courses at RHS

College Algebra, Fundamentals of Speech, and Essentials of Anatomy/Physiology are three dual credit courses that may be offered in-person at Roosevelt High School. College Algebra is a semester long, offered in the fall semester. Speech is a semester long, offered both fall and spring semesters.  Essentials of Anatomy/Physiology is a year-long course. We must have 10 students enrolled in order to have an in-person class offered. Classes may be taken online as well.

All classes listed above will be offered through the University of South Dakota (USD), if there is enough demand. They will be taught by a RHS teacher and will meet daily per the SFSD calendar. Students will need to complete their dual credit enrollment through the college in addition to requesting it through RHS.

Dual Credit Transcripts


If you’ve taken dual credit while in high school, you may need to request to have your official college transcript sent to the college you plan on attending in the fall after graduation. Please place your request after all dual credit courses are completed to avoid having to request it more than once. We recommend making your request in late-May or early-June to ensure courses are completed and the college receives them in ample time.
