Excerpt from the DSCC Catalog & Student Handbook:
Dual Credit (Credit by Assessment)
Through articulation, Dual Credit or Credit by Assessment is an opportunity available to recent
high school graduates (within two years of graduation) to receive credit and/or advanced
placement at DSCC for specific courses completed in high school.
The Dual Credit process begins while the student is enrolled in high school and culminates after
the student graduates from high school and enrolls at DSCC.
To apply for Dual Credit, a high school student must adhere to the following procedures:
1. Complete a high school course which aligns with a DSCC course.
2. Pass the challenge exam for the DSCC articulated course.
3. With the assistance of the high school guidance counselor or instructor, complete an
Application for Dual Credit and send it to the Dean of Business, Technology and Allied
Health or Dean of Arts and Sciences.
Following high school graduation:
1. Within two years of high school graduation, enroll as a degree-seeking student at DSCC.
2. After the census date, dual credit for the articulated course will be posted to the DSCC
transcript.
Note: Articulated credit applications will be held for two years after the student has graduated
from high school.
