Dual Credit/High School Students

I am a current high school student wanting to take college classes at HutchCC while in high school.

Dual Credit Courses, as defined by the Higher Learning Commission, are courses taught to high school students for which the students receive both high school and college credit. They involve the accredited institution’s responsibility for the quality of its offerings. Dual Credit students must meet institutional enrollment requirements, follow institutional procedures regarding assessment/placement, and satisfy course prerequisites. The CEP Dual Credit policy offers more information about student eligibility.
