Dual Credit is a partnership with Clark College and Lower Columbia College that provides high school students the opportunity to earn college and high school credit in some qualifying high school classes (see below). A grade of “B” or better is required to earn college credit. Students must demonstrate mastery in specific competencies and complete enrollment paperwork for each qualifying course. Students must check with each college for acceptability.
A virtual meeting about dual credit is offered each January. Ask your high school counselor for more information.
