• Important Dates and Reminders: 

    Dual Credit grade checks are conducted on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month, for each term.  Our two Dual Credit Paras will do a visual grade check in the Dual Credit room (M205), while the face-to-face dual credit teachers will screen course grades.

    Note:  College professors are not able to discuss college grades from dual credit courses with a parent/guardian, unless there is a student signed FERPA release form on file with the student's college.

  • Who is Dual Credit for?

    Posted by:

    Dual Credit courses are an option for all EHS students who meet college entrance exam requirements (TSIA), compete necessary applications/forms, and follow the dual credit guidelines provided by EHS.

    Dual Credit students need to be 'college ready' in reading, writing, and mathematics in order to be eligible to enroll in dual credit college courses. EHS offers the Accuplacer TSIA exam to enrolled students in these three subject areas.

    Currently, EISD partners with Navarro College for Dual Credit courses. The required TSIA scores for Navarro College can be found in the link below.

    Typically, dual credit students have a career and college goal in mind, which motivates them to do well acacemically and get ahead while still in high school. Students who are new to dual credit, or who do not have a career or college plan, may find dual credit challenging in the beginning. The good news is that students who complete their first college course tend to continue on with additional college classes.

  • When do students take Dual Credit?

    Posted by:

    Students take Dual Credit college courses during the school day. Each dual credit course is scheduled into a single class period that meshes with their other high school classes. 

    Dual Credit college courses can begin as early as the 9th grade. Students can take dual credit courses year-round; however the dual credit rates do not apply to the summer courses with Navarro College. 

    There are times when a student may wish to take a Dual Credit course at the Navarro College Waxahachie Campus after school or even on a Saturday.
