Dual Credit Classes
CSI's dual credit courses are college-level classes taken by high school students at their high school. The CSI Early College Handbook has all the details, but here are some things to know:
- Dual credit courses count toward both high school graduation requirements and college degree programs. The grades and credits you earn will be recorded on both your high school and college transcripts.
- The classes are taught by instructors who meet college-level teaching standards, ensuring a rigorous academic experience. Classes are usually held at your high school, but may also be offered online or on a CSI campus.
- Interested students should talk to their high school counselor, and make sure that they are ready for college-level work.
- Idaho high school students can apply for Advanded Opportunity Funding to apply toward the cost of dual credit classes. Ask your high school counselor or CSI's Early College office.

How dual credit fits into CSI Early College
Dual Credit is one of CSI’s Early College options for high school students. It focuses on academic courses that help you earn college credit while meeting high school graduation requirements.
Dual credit classes are often taught at your high school by qualified instructors, but may also be available online or on CSI’s campus. These courses are part of broader dual enrollment opportunities, allowing you to start college early while staying on track for your high school diploma.
Dual credit courses cost just $75 per credit—about half of CSI’s regular tuition and much less than most colleges in Idaho. Students can save thousands of dollars while earning college credit before they graduate high school.
