How is credit earned?
How is credit earned?
Tennessee high school and college faculty worked together to develop the learning objectives and challenge exam for each course.
All students enrolled in a statewide dual credit course are required to take the online challenge exam, which is used to assess mastery of the post-secondary level learning objectives.
Students ONLY have one attempt at these exams. Any additional attempts will not be reported and/or recognized by the Tennessee Department of Education.
Who awards the post-secondary credit?
Who awards the post-secondary credit?
Students who pass their statewide dual credit challenge exam are eligible to receive college credit at any of the public postsecondary institutions in the state. However, students need to enroll in an institution in order to receive “transcripted” college credit.
Upon matriculation, a student is responsible for contacting the institution’s Records Office and providing his/her statewide dual credit course/exam information in order for postsecondary credits to be awarded.
Statewide dual credit challenge exam scores must be reported on the student’s official high school transcript for the purpose of awarding credit at the postsecondary institution.
