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.

To safeguard a student's financial aid eligibility, it is recommended students maintain a 2.5 GPA during the first two (2) courses and all coursework thereafter.
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.

If the student is not a Mississippi resident but attends a high school within Lauderdale County, they can enroll but will be charged out-of-state dual credit tuition.
