Course Numbering website for specific information on how a particular course transfers to a particular college or university in the state. Students must check with private and out of state schools about how and if these courses will transfer. Some private and out of state colleges also accept dual credit; however, students must check with these individual institutions to determine what will and will not transfer. Do my Dual Credit grades transfer to Texas public state colleges? Grades and courses are listed on the Lone Star College transcript. How those courses and grades are transcripted varies by receiving institution. Similarly, how the grades are treated with regard to GPA at the college or university varies by institution. Some include these grades as a part of the college or university overall GPA and some do not. Check with your college or university about that institution’s policies. What do I need to know about using STAAR EOC or PSAT scores? Students can use their STAAR scores to meet college readiness. PSAT can be used for 11th grade ONLY. If students do not pass Dual Credit courses in their junior year with at least a C using PSAT scores, they cannot be placed using their PSAT scores again in 12th grade. Things to Remember Grades in dual credit classes become a permanent part of the student’s college record. Courses are taught at KHS during the regular school day. Students do not need to travel to Lone Star College for Maintain a college grade of C (HS grade of 70) or better to remain in the program. Special approval is needed to take more than two dual credit courses per semester. Compare college and high school course calendars. They are not always the same. This is especially important in an online course. Payment must be made to Lone Star College by the due date or dual credit courses will be dropped. Withdrawal from a Dual Credit course requires notification of your high school and completion of the necessary work. The Lone Star College calendar has drop dates that are essential for dropping a course without a grade and dropping with a “W” as it will affect a student’s college transcript. Credit Transfer Courses may not transfer to all universities. Please verify if courses will transfer to college of choice: OR www.tccns.org/. DUAL CREDIT PLACEMENT TESTING STUDY RESOURCES
