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).

A grade of "C" or higher is required for a course to be counted for post-secondary credit.

Students who are homeschooled 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 must be a resident of Lauderdale County to enroll in Academic Dual Credit.
