Welcome to ACC Dual Enrollment

The Dual Enrollment Program provides an opportunity for eligible high school students to enroll in college courses and receive both high school and college credit for the course.

What Qualities Should a Dual Enrollment Student Possess?

According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, approximately 180,000 high school students are participating in dual enrollment programs. The successful student should:

  • be highly motivated
  • be able to stick to a goal
  • make above average grades
  • possess good study habits
  • understand that the amount of work necessary to succeed in college courses will be greater than that of high school courses.

In addition, dual credit courses become a part of a student's permanent college transcript.
