WHAT IS ACADEMIC DUAL CREDIT?

Academic Dual Credit is a program that offers high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to take general education classes that earn both high school and college credit for a discounted rate (a 3 hour college credit = 1 Carnegie unit). Students who meet the requirements may enroll in classes at MCC, online, or at the student's high school.

For Career & Technical Education classes, see CTE Dual Credit.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

  • Students who are home schooled must submit a transcript prepared by a parent, guardian or custodian with a signed, sworn affidavit. They must also have a written recommendation from the parent, guardian or custodian as documented by this form.
  • Students may take two classes per semester at the discounted price. The student will be charged full tuition price for additional classes. CTE Dual Credit classes are included in the two-class limit.

  • Some classes may have additional Inclusive Access Materials Fees that cover course materials, textbooks, etc. Please refer to the MCC Business Office Tuition and Fees Schedule, or contact MCC's Dual Education Coordinator for more information.
