Dual Credit

Dual Credit at Monroe County High School

Dual credit allows high school students to earn college credit at a less expensive rate than traditional college classes, while getting the credits they need to graduate high school. Dual credit courses follow the college curriculum and college grading scale. (AP weighted scale)

When considering dual credit, please keep the following in mind.

• There is a fee required for all dual credit courses.
• If a student fails a dual credit or regular MCHS class the 1st semester, he/she will not be allowed to take dual-credit classes the 2nd semester.
• Only classes that are listed on the student's MCHS schedule will appear on his/her high school transcript.
• Each institution (College or University) has its own specific requirements for admittance into its program. Please click the logos to the left for specific information.
• We cannot guarantee that dual credit will transfer to all universities for exact credit. It is your responsibility to check transfer equivalencies.
