In the Dual Credit Program, a student is enrolled in a course which allows her to earn high school credit and college credit simultaneously.

● Dual credit can be earned in any of the following ways…

1. Classes taught at Pres by Pres faculty who meet the criteria set by the participating college/university.

2. In person and online classes at Spalding University.

3. Online classes through JCTC.

● As of Summer 2023, students who are residents of Kentucky are eligible for 2 KHEAA (Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority) scholarships during both junior and senior years. Each scholarship covers the entire cost of one dual credit course. In order to use these scholarships, students must log in to their KHEAA accounts and follow the necessary steps.

● The cost of each dual credit course is currently $91 per credit hour with most classes being 3 credit hours total. This cost may change from year to year.

● By enrolling in dual credit courses, students accept the responsibility for following the appropriate steps and communicating with specific universities when necessary.

● Upon completion of dual credit courses, students must obtain transcripts from the issuing university. While courses are listed on the student’s Presentation transcript, colleges will require a college transcript to issue credit.
