Welcome to Dual Credit

2013 - 2014

Dual Credit allows high school students to earn both high school and college credit by completing college-level courses while in class (or on a computer if you are a virtual dual credit student) at KHS. As a college student, you automatically have access to theLone Star College-Kingwood resources, such as tutoring, computer lab and library services, and various seminars.

The responsibility for applying online, arranging and taking required testing, meeting deadlines, and paying the appropriate fees is yours, as any college student taking a college course. It is important to remember that these courses are COLLEGE COURSES offered at the high school. The expectation of work load and academic challenge are college level. Remember that a student ispermanentlyremoved from the dual credit program if a final grade in any course is a D or lower. See the chart on page 5 for courses offered, credits, and tuition costs.

The Dual Credit Coordinator for KHS is Ms. Jeri Fasoldat 281-641-6976inRoom 4405. You can find dual credit info on the KHS website, Our School tab, Counselors link, Dual Credit link.
