  2. What is Dual Credit? • Dual Credit is the opportunity for your student to enroll in a college level course and receive simultaneous academic credit for the course from both the college and the high school. • Students can begin taking dual credit courses the Summer of their Freshman year. • Seniors will typically graduate high school with 30 or more hours of college credit. (That equals one year at College) • Dual Credit courses are college based courses therefore your student will receive the highest level of rigor. Keep in mind these are college level courses and must be treated with the highest level of importance.

  3.

Any dual credit online courses will be placed in the schedule either the first or the last periods of the day. • Reminder: Effective the Class of 2021 and beyond the GPA system has changed. Only Core (Math, Science, English, Social Studies) and Languages other than English for graduation requirements will count on the 4.5 GPA scale. NO elective courses will count toward the GPA.

  18. ECISD Dual Credit Agreement • I understand that college level work is more rigorous and that grading policies differ from ECISD. (Example: College instructors are not required to take a minimum number of grades.) • I understand that college grades are reported as “progress grades” and not averaged each six weeks. A final grade is reported at the end of the semesterand will replace all 6-week grades. • I understand that if a student is having difficulty in his/her class, it is the student’s responsibility to conference with the instructor, NOT THE PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY. Students can find instructor phone numbers, office hours and email addresses on the OC or UTPB webpage. Counselors, administrators, and UIL sponsors will not contact college faculty on behalf of dual-enrolled students, but may only facilitate the student making the contact. • I understand that if a student has failed or is failing college level subject in the current or previous semester, the College & Career Advisor will not give the student permission to register for a college class in the same subject the following semester. A student denied registration for dual classes may appeal to the campus principal.

  19. ECISD Dual Credit Agreement Continued • I understand that I must contact my College & Career Advisor in order to drop a class. I understand that I must drop college classes during the first three weeks of the class so that placement can be made to a class on campus. Students who have extenuating circumstances and want to drop after the three-week period must obtain special permission from the College & Career Advisor. Approved students will be scheduled into a regular class on campus, but will be informed of options to regain the credit. I understand that, if I drop below 5 classes, I will be a part-time student and will not be UIL eligible. • I understand that ECISD will follow all district policies and UIL eligibility guidelines for students who drop a class while failing. (Local district policies are posted on the ECISD website and UIL eligibility guidelines can be found in the UIL side by side.) • For dual courses taught at the college campus, I understand that, if I am a 9th or 10th grade student, my courses will be scheduled before or after the school day. If I am an 11th & 12th grade student, my courses will be scheduled either the first or last period of the day. • I understand that I must attend Dual Credit Orientation at the designated times. If I don’t attend the orientation I will be dropped immediately from my dual credit courses.

  20. Dual Credit Drop/Withdrawal • Students who express a desire to withdrawal from or drop a dual credit course must meet with the College & Career Advisors immediately. • The College & Career Advisors will request all drops and withdraws to Odessa College or UTPB. • Students who drop courses will be placed into a regular course at Permian or OHS. We will not place your student from dual credit into AP courses. • Ms. Perkins (PHS) or Ms. Moreno (OHS) will monitor all students progress and will provide the following counseling and intervention: • Review of pace and progress • Discussion of available learning support services and tutoring • Discuss of Satisfactory Academic Progress as it relates to future Financial Aid. • Ms. Perkins or Ms. Moreno will notify students and parents when the student is in jeopardy of failing for the semester.
