Dual Credit

Dual Credit

Dual credit allows high school students to earn college credit while enrolled in high school.  In some cases, students may earn dual credit for a course and receive both high school and college credit simultaneously. Students earn credit by taking an approved college class offered at a high school, the AC campus, or online. Our students can choose to take courses designed to transfer to a four-year college/university or technical courses designed to contribute to a workforce or health science program.

Eligibility Requirements

Student must have the approval of the high school counselor if enrolled in a public Texas ISD.

Per THECB 4.85, degree-seeking students must meet Texas Success Initiative (TSI) eligibility requirements for college-level coursework or be exempt based on alternative test scores (SAT/ACT). For more information on the TSI, please click HERE.

Dual credit students are not eligible to enroll in developmental education or physical education courses.

AC Recommended Academic Plans (RAPs)

The high school (including charter, private and homeschool) is responsible for determining which college courses meet the TEKS requirements or learning outcomes. The decision to offer or accept a course for dual credit lies with the high school counselor/administration and all students are required to have the approval of the district to enroll. Angelina College must have an active memorandum of understanding with the ISD to offer dual credit courses.
