Dual Credit

Go2College in High School!

Get a head start on a college degree with KCTCS's dual credit program.

Dual credit is concurrent enrollment in high school and a KCTCS college with credit awarded by both. A high school student may earn both high school and college credit for the same course upon successful completion of course requirements.

• Save time — earning college credits in high school shortens the time it takes to get your college degree.
• Save money — most dual credit tuition programs offer reduced tuition.
• In some cases, students who take dual credit classes are given special consideration when applying for admissions to selectivecollege programs.

• Be a high school junior or senior.
• Complete a KCTCS application and dual credit form.
• Meet the assessment and placement requirements.
• Participate in a dual credit course that is in agreement between KCTCS and the partner secondary school.
