Eligibility of Students
To be eligible for dual credit course enrollment, students must meet institutional grade point average requirements, meet the college-established ACT or placement testing requirements, and be a 10th, 11th, or 12th-grade student or a gifted student. College/University fees for dual credit are the student's responsibility.
College Credit Cost
Each college credit provider has established a per credit hour fee and may require additional fees for certain courses. College course fees are subject to change. The student is responsible for the payment of course fees and should contact the college credit provider directly for questions regarding course fees, billing, and payment deadlines.

Access to Student Education Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a Federal law which provides that the institution will maintain the confidentiality of student education records. College credit providers reserve the right to refuse parental access to student education records without the written consent of the student. We recommend that students and parents review the FERPA policy of each institution where the student is enrolling for college credit.
