Dual Enrollment

 

 

Welcome to Alvin College 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. While dual enrollment courses are mostly taught on the high school campuses, students can also earn credit on the Alvin College campus. To see more on Dual Enrollment click here.

The value of taking Dual Enrollment courses

Save Time - Students earn high school credit and college credit for the same course

Fullfill Requirements - Satisfy requirements for the Texas high school graduation performance acknowledgments and begin or complete Texas College Core Curriculum requirements

Transferability - Academic Dual Enrollment courses will transfer with a grade C or higher to any Texas public colleges and universities

Dual Enrollment students need to:

  • 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
  • Be aware that dual credit courses become a part of a student's permanent college transcript

Interested students should contact their high school counselor or DE Advisor for more information and to develop a degree plan.
