What is Dual Credit?
Dual Credit is a program that allows high school students to take college courses at Austin Community College. Through a partnership between Leander ISD and ACC, the tuition is waived! Student's are responsible for any course fees and books. Currently, there is no limit on the number of courses a dual credit student can take. Not only can students get a head start on earning college credits, but many of the courses count for high school credit as well (or what we refer to as dual credit).
Prospective ACC dual credit students need to first meet with your alpha counselor to decide if ACC is the best fit for you. Once you've made that decision and completed the first four enrollment steps, you'll need to meet with the campus Transition Coordinator, Mrs. Kennedy.
