    What is Dual Credit

    Dual Credit is a way your student can earn college credit while attending high school.

    Dual Credit students take college-level courses taught by Tarrant County College faculty. These courses satisfy high school graduation requirements and provide college credit at the same time.

    • Your FWISD will award high school academic credit.
    • TCC will award college-level academic credit.

    How will you benefit?

    Students who take dual credit can:

    • Receive high school and college credit for courses in which they earn a “C” or better

    • Graduate from their high schools with transferable college credits
    • Fast-track their undergraduate or vocational degrees
