Dual Credit
Dual credit courses enable high school students to earn both college and high school credits simultaneously. Upon completion, grades and credits are recorded on both transcripts. Students must manage their coursework, grades, and deadlines independently. Before registering, students should understand Advanced Opportunities protocol, funding obligations, and potential risks. Courses are offered at high schools, online, via VTC broadcast, or at a CSI campus. The accumulated college credits facilitate progress towards a college degree or certificate, saving on overall college costs. General education credits may transfer to public Idaho Higher Education institutions, subject to their policies.
For more information, consult your high school counselor or contact our Early College office.
Dual credit coursework enables high school students to make progress towards a college degree before they finish high school and save on the overall cost of a college education.
High school students, log in to the DualEnroll portal to apply for the dual credit program and register for classes.

With that growth, the Early College team is dedicated to ensuring students have access to the help and resources they need at all of the 60+ high schools we partner with.
