What is Dual and Concurrent Credit?

Dual credit classes are college courses in which high school students earn both college and high school credit. Stu-dents must take the TSI Assessment and score at college level in order to enroll in college level course work.

The classes that have been approved for dual credit are shown on pages 6 & 7. They are also listed in the annu-al SHS Course Selection Guide. Many classes are offered for dual credit, however, Learning Frameworks must be the first course that students enroll in. After you have taken Learning Frameworks students may enroll in any of our core curriculum courses. There are also many technical and vocational classes available through dual credit also, including Automotive Technology, Chemical Process Technology, Drafting Technology, Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology, Industrial and Commercial Electricity, Machine Technology, and Welding Technology. Students may have one or two periods off for their technical college class.

Concurrent credit classes are college courses in which high school students earn college credit only, but are com-pleted while in high school, beginning in Freshmen year.

Concurrent course grades will not be reflected on the high school transcript and will not be calculated in their high school GPA. Students may take any college course for concurrent credit only, if they so choose.

How Does A Student Qualify For Dual/Concurrent Enrollment? To qualify for dual/concurrent enrollment a student must be a high school student and have a good record in the following areas:

Attendance: The student must not have had excessive absences in the semester previous to the enrollment period. (90% Rule applies) (Texas Education Code [TEC], Chapter 25 Rule 092)

Discipline: The student must not have had severe discipline problems in the semester previous to the enrollment period. (ISS / AEC / Boot Camp) (TEC Chapter 37 Rule 124)

Grades: The student must have passed all of his/her classes, including college courses, in the semester previous to the enrollment period.

Exceptions are only by principal approval. When students satisfy the above qualifications they are eligible for dual credit/concurrent enrollment. Each student must meet admission requirements in order to register for classes at Brazosport College. There may also be placement testing requirements for individual classes, as indicated on page 8.

A grade of “C” (70) or better is required to earn high school credit. Check with the high school or college counselor for more information about credits. Students must take the Reading portion of the college placement test before enrolling in PSYC 1300, Learning Frameworks. Learning Frameworks is a course that is required for all new students at Brazosport College that helps students learn the basic skills to be successful in college, such as note-taking, time management, how to research, stress management, and more. Students also will learn about the differences between high school and col-lege. Students enrolling in college courses for high school credit should be aware that these are college level courses taught by college faculty. All students, regardless of age or class standing, will be held to the same standards. Grades earned become part of the student's permanent record at Brazosport College.

Students meeting the high school requirements will need to pick up a Dual Credit Approval Form and an Early Enroll-ment/Dual Credit form from their dual credit counselor before applying to the Dual Credit Program. The approval form must be signed by the student, a parent/guardian, a high school counselor, and the high school principal before meeting with the college counselor.

The Dual Credit Guidebook can be downloaded from the Dual Credit website at Brazosport College. The Dual Credit Approval Form, the Guidebook Receipt Form, and the Early Admission/Dual Program Form must be completed and presented to the dual credit counselor before registering for college classes.

Each student is responsible for submitting forms, payment of tuition and fees, buying books, and providing their own transportation to and from Brazosport College.

Testing Requirements

In order to take academic classes at any public college or university in Texas, you must have either taken or be exempt from

the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) test or a state approved alternate test. BC uses the state approved alternate test, TSI.

Exit Level TAKS

2200 in Math and/or

2200 in ELA with a Writing Composition

*PSAT scores waive testing for one year only, as do sophomore level TAKS scores of 2200 ELA and 3 writing sub-score.

If a student is not exempt and wants to take an academic class, he/she may register for the TSI placement test (www.brazosport.edu/tsi), in person at the Counseling and Testing Receptionist desk at Brazosport College. TSI scores are available immediately after testing. If you are enrolling in a technical class, such as welding, process technology, etc., testing may not be required. Consult with your dual credit counselor regarding any testing requirements for these classes.

The Registration Process

1. When students discuss course selection with their high school counselor for the upcoming year, they must inform their counselor of an interest in taking a dual credit college course. On the high school Course Selection Form, stu-dents must indicate the college courses they wish to enroll in. 2. Complete the Brazosport College online application at www.applytexas.org. 3. Obtain a Dual Credit Approval Form and an Early Admission/Dual Credit Program Form from the college counse-lor. Download the Dual Credit Guidebook from the dual credit website at: http://www.brazosport.edu/dualcredit/Pages/MeetOurDualCreditCounselors.aspx. Print the last page of the guidebook, and sign it. Submit the Guidebook Receipt and the signed approval form to the college counselor before picking up a Brazosport College Early Enroll-ment/Dual Credit Program Form. 4. Take the placement test, if not exempt or waived, as soon as possible. 5. Attend a New Student Orientation for first time in college students. Students who have already attended Ori-entation do not have to attend another; this is for new students, only. For more information you may visit the orien-tation website at www.brazosport.edu/nso, call 979-230-3412, or email [email protected].

6. Make certain that students submit the Early Admission/Dual Credit Program Form, the Dual Credit Student Ap-proval Form, and a Dual Credit Guidebook Receipt Form, to the dual credit counselor. The dual credit counselor will assist students in completing the registration process.

When students pick up their high school schedules in the fall, they must verify that the requested college classes are correct. If there are any changes needed, please notify the high school and college counselors, immediately. Students may be placed into high school classes if they do not provide this confirmation.

You are exempt if you have the following scores:

Financial Aid for Dual Credit Students

Dual or concurrent students may receive $500 per semester in financial aid.

Students must enroll in at least three (3) college credit hours, one college course, each semester they request aid.

Grants are available to students on a first come, first serve basis. All necessary paperwork must be completed and processed prior to registration. Check the financial aid calendar for dates and deadlines before applying. Contact the Financial Aid Office at Brazosport College for assistance with the financial aid application process.

Steps to Applying for a Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG)

Your high school counselor, college counselor, and the BC Financial Aid Office personnel are always happy to help you with any part of the FAFSA process. For additional help you may visit the Career Center (E120) at Brazosport College or call 979-230-3377

for further assistance.

High School Schedule

Some Dual Credit courses are taught on the high school campus. Counselors will inform students which classes will be offered as part of the high school schedule. Students must request Dual Credit courses when they pre-register for high school classes in the spring. If the requirements for taking Dual Credit courses are not fulfilled by the deadline, the regular high school course will be placed in the students’ schedule. Be sure to check the deadlines when re-questing college classes.

Some Dual Credit classes are not offered as a part of the high school schedule. Students may get special approval from the counselor and principal to leave the high school campus to attend a college class on another campus or at Brazosport College. Evening courses can also be taken on students’ own time.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

When Angleton High School receives the grade report from Brazosport College, the dual credit college level course is typed on the student’s high school transcript with the symbol code of “D” to denote it was a Dual Credit course.

All dual credit courses will be calculated into the high school GPA for class ranking and transcribed as the actual num-ber grade. Most academic dual credit courses are weighted 1.1 when calculated into the GPA. Technical courses are not weighted.

Concurrent course grades are not reported to the high school transcript, will not be reflected on the high school transcript and will not be calculated in the GPA. Students may take any college class for concurrent credit only, if they so choose.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

See your high school counselor and then see a Brazosport College coun-selor to sign up for at least 3 college credit hours (one college course).

Go to the FAFSA website and apply for a FSA ID and password. You will need to apply for yourself and one parent/guardian.

When you receive your FSA ID, go back to the FAFSA web-site, complete and submit the FAFSA.

Transfer of Credits

The state of Texas has developed a Core Curriculum in which every public college and university must accept as part of its Core Curriculum any transfer class that has been identified as part of the Core Curriculum of the previous institution. Most other college credits will transfer to senior colleges and universities in Texas, except for courses with a grade of “D”. Before transferring credits, students should check with the college that they are planning to attend. Students should carefully study the degree requirements of the senior college they plan to transfer to and arrange a program of work based on this study.

“If a student successfully completes the 42 semester credit hour core curriculum at Brazosport College, that block of courses is transferable to any other Texas public institution of higher education and must be substituted for the receiv-ing institution’s core curriculum. A student shall receive academic credit for each of the courses transferred and may not be required to take additional core curriculum courses at the receiving institution unless the Texas Higher Education Coordination Board has approved a larger core curriculum at that institution.

A student who transfers to another institution of higher education without completing the Brazosport College core curriculum shall receive academic credit within the core curriculum of the receiving institution for each of the courses that the student has successfully completed in the Brazosport College core curriculum.

Standards of Student Conduct Brazosport College assumes that students eligible to perform on the college level are familiar with the ordinary rules

governing proper conduct and that they will observe these rules as a matter of training and habit. The institution ac-cepts the concept that where its interests as an academic community are involved, the special authority of the institu-tion should be asserted.

the appropriate college authority. Notation of disciplinary action imposed upon students shall be made a part of the student’s permanent file in the Office of the Dean of Student Services. Misconduct shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

Plagiarism shall be defined as the appropriating, buying, receiving as a gift, or obtaining by any means, another’s

work and the unacknowledged submission or incorporation of it in one’s own written work.

Collusion shall be defined as the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work for fulfill-

ment of course requirements. Students determined to be guilty of cheating, plagiarism, or collusion shall be subject to dismissal from the class with a failing grade. A second offense may be cause for suspension from college.
