DUAL CREDIT RESOURCE HUB

The Dual Credit program offers high school student's the opportunity to enroll in a community college and earn college level credit, while at the same time fulfilling high school academic requirements. AHHS has a partnership with St. Philip's College and the application process opens the Spring semester of a student's Sophomore year (with the exception of Early College HS/PTECH programs). AHHS Dual Credit Students receive all the privileges of a St. Philip's college student (Ex: use of gym, library).

In addition to earning college credit, dual credit courses offer several benefits: a smoother transition between high school and college, first-hand exposure to college-level work while still in high school, as well as financial savings for college coursework.

Grades in dual credit classes become a permanent part of your college record.

Courses are taught at AHHS during the regular school day. Students do not need to travel to the college.

Maintain a college grade of “C” or better to remain in the program.

Withdrawal from a dual credit course requires notification of your high school and completion of the necessary paperwork. The college calendar has drop dates that are essential for dropping a course without a grade and dropping with a “W”. A drop slip to be sent to St. Philip's College is required.

Credit Transfer- Courses may not transfer to all universities. Please verify if courses will transfer to the college of choice.

The TSIA-2 Assessment is part of the Texas Success Initiative program designed to help your college or university determine if you are ready for college-level course work in the general areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. This program also will help determine what type of course or intervention will best meet your needs to help you become better prepared for college-level course work if you are not ready. The TSIA-2 is required for all Dual Credit Students unless they meet the SAT/ACT exemptions.
