Dual Credit courses are COLLEGE classes that are taught here at Ridgevue High School. Here is how it works. For $75.00 per credit, students can choose from a list of Ridgevue High School courses that are 'dually' taught. This means the teacher is teaching a curriculum that not only lines up with high school standards, but also aligns with a college curriculum. Students taking these courses can receive 1 credit per semester on their high school transcript PLUS 1 to 5 credits on a college transcript for the same class.
ALL dual credit courses transfer to any college that accepts transfer credits. You can cross reference dual credit courses with your student's college of preference to how those credits transfer. A great website for checking on transferring credits is ID Transfer.
IMPORTANT DUAL CREDIT TRANSFER INFORMATION: Students who have completed dual credit courses at Ridgevue will need the following information to transfer those credits to the college you will be attending in the fall. The credits you earned are mostly at College of Western Idaho or Northwest Nazarene University. To transfer credits to the college of your choice, please go to www.studentclearinghouse.org or www.parchment.com .

STUDENTS: PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TRANSFER THE CREDITS, NOT RIDGEVUE'S. THIS IS NOT DONE AUTOMATICALLY. THERE IS A PROCESS INVOLVED THAT YOU MUST COMPLETE. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONSULT Mrs. Ashton in the Career Center.
Ridgevue High School does not advise students regarding earning an Associate's Degree. Please contact: CWI Advising for more information.
