3 Duncanville ISD Dual Credit Program Duncanville High School is very excited to offer a Dual Credit program in conjunction with Dallas County Community College District. College or University Tuition Textbooks DCCCD Courses: Mountain View El Centro Eastfield Cedar Valley Tuition and fees are waived for up to two courses per semester. The District pays for student textbooks. In the event that a textbook needed for a course is not available at Duncanville High School the student can purchase the textbook to be reimbursed upon successful completion of the course. *Successful completion of the course means that the student must pass the course and may not have withdrawn or dropped the course. What are Dual Credit Courses? Dual Credit courses are college courses that also count toward high school requirements. Upon successful completion of the course with a score of 70 or higher, the student earns both college credit and high school credit for the course. Dual Credit courses may be taught by a high school teacher with appropriate credentials, by regular college faculty, or via the internet. Courses offered for dual credit must provide advanced academic instruction that allows for mastery of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for the appropriate high school course and that also extends the educational experience in greater depth than the TEKS. Duncanville ISD provides classes, books and other required materials to qualified students at no cost to the individual. The credits transfer to public colleges in Texas and many private and out of state colleges. What are the benefits of taking Dual Credit Courses? The student may earn college credit prior to graduating from high school. If the student completes the course with a 3.0 or higher (B), it can be counted as an advanced measure toward a Performance Acknowledgement. Additionally, by earning college credit in high school, the student may save the cost of tuition and/or books for that required course. Dual credit, in most cases, transfers to any public college or university, provided students receive a grade of 2.0 or higher (C). However, it is recommended to check course transferability with the accepting college or university. Who should take Dual Credit Courses? Dual Credit applicants must meet the entrance requirements of the participating institution of higher learning and must be in grade Additionally, dual credit applicants must demonstrate college readiness (see chart on page 4 for listing of requirements and college readiness standards). High school students may not enroll in more than two dual credit courses per semester without approval by the principal and the chief academic officer of the college. 2
4 How is credit granted for Dual Credit Courses? A student may be granted credit for college course(s) taken in approved institutions with whom DHS has an articulated agreement to fulfill units for high school graduation under the following provisions: The student must request in writing and receive permission from the principal that high school credit be given for a college course. The course(s) may be taken during the summer, evening, or online. Credit for successfully completed college course(s) shall be earned in one-half unit increments. A one semester, three-hour college course will be equal to a one-semester high school course. The district pays all costs associated with taking the college course(s) and the student provides the district with an official college transcript showing the grade received. The grade must be a minimum of C to qualify for high school credit. College course credit may not substitute for a course required for Foundation or Distinguished Achievement Graduation Plans through Your officially a college student when enrolled in Dual Credit Courses Students in dual credit classes must follow Duncanville ISD policies as well as the policies for DCCCD students. DCCCD policies you need to understand before signing up for dual credit classes include: After the 12th class day, a student may withdraw from a dual credit class, but they will receive a W on their college transcript. Students may not withdraw from a dual credit course after the official drop date posted by the college. Withdrawal from a dual credit course after the drop date results in a grade of F on the college transcript. Withdrawals and failing grades in dual credit classes may cause a student to lose their Federal Financial Aid eligibility when they move to a higher education institution upon graduating from high school. To remain eligible for Federal Financial Aid, students must maintain a college GPA of 2.0 and maintain a completion rate of 75% (this rate may vary by college institution). If a student must withdraw from a dual credit class, he/she must notify the instructor and the DHS Dual Credit Counselor; failure to notify both parties may result in a grade of F on their DCCCD transcript. If there is a grade dispute, the student must seek an appeal at their high school for the high school transcript and with the appropriate DCCCD contact person for the college transcript. Failing a dual credit class may cause the student to be ineligible for the dual credit program. 3

9 Texas Success Initiative Assessment What is the TSI Assessment? The Texas Success Initiative Assessment, better known as the TSI test, is a program which determines the appropriate level of college coursework for an incoming college student in the state of Texas. The TSI test consists of three separate exams: Mathematics, Reading, and Writing. Although there are several criteria which exempt a student from the need for this program, many incoming college students in Texas will be required to take them. Other than the essay portion, the exams themselves are multiple choice and computer adaptive, as questions increase or decrease in difficulty based upon previous answers. Successful scoring on the TSI proves your readiness for college-level course work and will save you substantial time and money by allowing you to avoid remedial classes. Before registering for dual credit courses, you must meet the requirements of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), which includes a pre-assessment activity and assessment testing. Minimum Passing TSI Standards The college will use the following minimum passing standards to determine a student's readiness to enroll in freshman-level academic coursework. *Note: These current placement scores are subject to change. Instrument State TSI Reading Standard State TSI Writing standard State TSI Math standard TSI Assessment *351 or above A placement score of at least 340, and an essay score of at least 4, or a placement score of less than 340, and an ABE Diagnostic level of at least a 4, and an essay score of at least 5 *350 or above 8

13 Dropping a Dual Credit Course Process for Dropping Course(s) Consequence(s) for Dropping Course(s) Before the Census Date Prior to the Census Date (a date specified by the college as the official student enrollment date), a student must simply inform his/her counselor. No Dual Credit Drop Form from the student is needed before the Census Date. What are the consequences of dropping a Dual Credit course at the beginning of the semester? For high school dial credit courses, changes and/or drops can occur only within the first ten days of the semester. If a student drops or withdrawals before the official drop/withdrawal deadline, he/she will receive a grade of W (Withdraw) in each class dropped until the seventh unacceptable drop. A student will earn a grade of WF for the seventh unacceptable drop, and each unacceptable drop after that. A grade of WF will be calculated in the GPA as an F. The deadline for receiving a W is indicated on the academic calendar and the current class schedule. After the Census Date, a penalty will be reflected on the student s college transcript. After the Census Date After the Census Date, a student must complete a College or University drop form so the withdrawal from the dual credit course can be properly processed. Failure to complete both drop forms could result in an F on a student s college transcript. What are the consequences of dropping a Dual Credit course after the first ten days of a semester and prior to the official Last Day to Withdraw or drop date? The college or University will publicize a specific Last Day to Withdraw date each semester. Withdrawals after the Census Date and prior to the official Withdrawal date will result in a withdrawal (W) on the student s college transcript. A W has no academic consequences; however, if a student has more than the 6 allowed w s in his/her college career, a student s admission to college and/or financial aid could be affected. What are the consequences of dropping a Dual Credit course after the official Last Day to Withdraw/Drop date? Withdrawals after the official drop-date will result in a failing grade on the student s college transcript, and the grade earned in class will be a part of the student s permanent college record. Grading Policy and Procedures Grades for dual credit classes are transcribed on both the high school and college transcripts. After graduation, the DCCCD transcript must be sent to the student s college of choice for a transcript review. The intended college will then award credit according to their policies. What happens if a student earns a D in a Dual Credit classes? According to district grading policies any grade below a C is considered failing. Therefore, if a students earns a D in a dual credit course he/she may receive college credit but will not receive high school credit. This would result in the student having to retake the high school equivalent course. How many grades are issued in a Dual Credit Course? Dual credit course are actual college courses and therefore follow the traditional college requirements for grades issued to students. As a result, students should expect a midterm grade and a final grade. It is at the discretion of the dual credit instructor to issue additional grades to students. 12

20 DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGES' GUIDELINES FOR DUAL CREDIT COURSES AND REMEDIAL COURSES OFFERED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TEXAS SCHOOLS Academic Year The following guidelines reflect current Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) rules and regulations (Chapter 4, Subchapters D and G) and Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) policies and procedures. THECB rules and regulations and DCCCD policies and procedures are always subject to change with the new changes taking precedence. While THECB defines four types of partnerships with high schools, these guidelines do not address partnerships where only high school credit is granted nor Career Pathway Program articulated agreements. They do address course credit where instruction is provided to high school students for the immediate award of both high school and college certificate and associate degree credit. They also address remedial instruction provided to high school students for either remedial work to prepare students to pass the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test(s) or other state designated instrument(s) to prepare students to pass the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) test(s). 1. For any instructional partnerships between a Texas public secondary school(s), a charter school, a private school or a home school and a college of the DCCCD, an agreement must be approved by the governing boards or designated authorities of both the public school district/charter school/private school/home school and the DCCCD prior to the offering of courses. Students who are enrolled in public, private, charter, or non-accredited secondary schools or who are home schooled must meet the same standards outlined below. This agreement must address the following: A. Student eligibility requirement to enroll in academic and/or workforce education approved dual credit courses (1) The student must be in high school.

(4) College shall assess each student for readiness to engage in any college-level curriculum offered for college credit prior to the student's enrollment in such curriculum. (5) After assessment, the Early College High School, using guidelines established by the College/University, shall determine what forms of assistance and remediation, if any, are necessary prior to a student's enrollment in any college-level curriculum based on the results of the assessment and other indicators of student readiness. (6) A student must meet all the college s regular prerequisite requirements designated for that course. (7) Student demonstrates TSI exempt for college readiness and dual credit eligibility by achieving the following minimum passing standards under the provisions of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) relating to College Ready and Adult Basic Education Standards on relevant section(s) of the Texas Success 19
21 Initiative Assessment (TSIA) OR other appropriate state approved test scores (see below SAT, ACT, STAAR score requirements for TSI).

If the student takes dual credit course(s) that are outside of the allowances outlined above, then: 20
22 (a) The student will not be eligible for a TSI level-one certificate waiver; and (b) The student will be required to take the TSIA unless the student presents qualifying ACT, SAT or STAAR scores to make the student exempt from TSI requirements. (10) A student who is exempt from taking TAKS or STAAR EOC assessments may be otherwise evaluated by an institution to determine eligibility for enrolling in workforce education dual credit courses. (11) Students who do not acquire the necessary test score(s) for eligibility purposes should discuss their options with the college Dual Credit School Coordinator. (12) To be eligible for enrollment in a dual credit course offered by a public college, students must meet all the college s regular prerequisite requirements designated for that course (e.g., minimum score on a specified placement test, minimum grade in a specified previous course, etc.). (13) Score requirements can be altered by the THECB or DCCCD with the currently approved scores being used for eligibility and course placement purposes. (14) An institution may impose additional requirements for enrollment in courses for dual credit that do not conflict with THECB dual credit requirements. (15) An institution is not required, under the provisions of THECB dual credit section, to offer dual credit courses for high school students. (16) The student must meet all admissions criteria of the college. In addition, students may be withdrawn from the pre-registration course(s) for subsequent semesters or terms if the student withdraws from a course or makes a grade of D or F. Students may be refused re-enrollment unless the student and the parent(s)/guardian(s) agree to abide by written conditions from the college designed to increase the potential for success. (17) Eligibility for continued participation in dual credit courses requires satisfactory academic performance at the high school; earned grades of A, B or C in all college courses; and parental/guardian and school approval for each subsequent semester of enrollment. A student who earns grades of D or F may not be eligible for future dual credit courses or may have restrictions. Students who earn dual credit grades of W, D and/or F on a college transcript may not be eligible for future financial aid or may have limited financial aid options beyond high school. (18) Students must discuss with their Dual Credit Advisor/Counselor if they wish to withdraw from their college course(s). Students who decide to withdraw must submit the required withdrawal form to the Dual Credit Advisor/Counselor or College Registrar by the published deadline. Failure to submit the required withdrawal form could result in student receiving a grade of F. (a.) Section of the Texas Education Code applies to students who enroll in a Texas public institution of higher education for the first time in fall 2007 or later. Based on this law, when you graduate from high school and continue your college education, DCCCD or any other Texas public institution of higher education may not permit students to drop more than six college level credit courses for unacceptable reasons during their entire undergraduate career without penalty. All college level courses dropped after the official drop and add period for the course are included in the six-course limit, including courses dropped at another Texas public institution of higher education, unless it qualifies as an exception. (19) Dual Credit High Students are currently exempt from the following state requirements until they graduate from high school. Once students graduate from high school and are no longer exempt they should take care when selecting additional courses to be transferred toward a Baccalaureate degree. House Bill 1172 allows an institution to charge the equivalent of out of state tuition for credit hours taken beyond the state limits. 21
23 State limits are: (a.) For students entering public Texas institutions Fall 1999 Summer 2006 who attempt 45 hours beyond what is required for Baccalaureate degree (120 hours). (b.) For students entering Fall 2006 and thereafter who attempt 30 hours beyond the hours required for a Baccalaureate degree. It is recommended that students take minimal hours beyond degree requirements to avoid possible higher tuition charges at the institution to which they are transferring. (20) Academic freedom is practiced at all DCCCD Colleges and appropriate and essential discipline-specific terminology, concepts and principles are utilized as needed in the classroom setting, including within dual credit classes. B. Faculty Qualifications (1) The college must select instructors of dual credit courses. This faculty must be regularly employed faculty members of the college or must meet all criteria established for credit instruction in the DCCCD, including SACSCOC criteria. The approval procedures used by the college to select faculty must be the same as that used for faculty teaching at the college campus. (2) It is encouraged that high school faculty teaching dual credit classes should also teach a class on the college campus as soon and as often as practical. (3) Faculty teaching dual credit classes will meet all expectations for adjunct instructors including attending orientations, faculty meetings, and staff development activities. (4) The faculty supervision and evaluation will be the same as that for all instructors at the college. Such evaluations will be conducted by the appropriate division dean or delegate. The student survey of instruction instrument will be administered, and all normal and usual documentation will be completed. C. Course Curriculum, Instruction and Grading (1) Courses offered for dual credit must be THECB approved college-level academic courses and/or THECB college-level workforce education courses and are in agreement with the current Texas Education Agency s (TEA) guidelines for graduation requirements in the State of Texas. Students may take no more courses for dual credit than permitted by these TEA course graduation guidelines. (2) The college shall ensure that a dual credit course and the college course offered on the college campus are equivalent with respect to curriculum, materials, instruction, and method/rigor of student evaluation. (3) Instructors of dual credit courses should be given the opportunity to award high school only or dual credit depending upon student performance. Students in dual credit courses may withdraw from the college course by following college procedures and meeting all deadlines. (4) Dual Credit students who retake a dual credit course or enroll in a concurrent (non- dual credit) course will pay tuition for such courses. D. Location of Dual Credit Classes (1) Dual credit courses may be taught on the college campus or on the high school campus. For dual credit courses taught exclusively to high school students on the high school campus and for dual credit courses taught electronically, the college shall comply with applicable rules and procedures for offering courses at a distance in THECB Rules, Chapter 4, subchapters P and Q relating to Distance Education and Off- Campus instruction. (2) Dual credit courses taught electronically shall comply with the THECB adopted Principles of Good Practice for Courses Offered Electronically. 22
24 (3) Colleges must comply with SACSCOC (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges) requirements as it relates to courses being taught off college location. E. Composition of Dual Credit Classes (1) Dual Credit courses must be taught on the college and/or the high school campus. (2) Dual credit classes may be composed of dual credit students only or of dual and college credit students. Exceptions for a mixed class, which would include high school credit-only students, may be allowed by meeting one of the following conditions: a. If the course involved is required for completion under the State Board of Education High School Program graduation requirements, and the high school is otherwise unable to offer such a course; or b. If the high school credit-only students are College Board Advanced Placement students; or c. If the course is a career and technical/college workforce education course and the high school credit-only students are earning articulated college credit. F. Student Services (1) High school students in dual credit courses will be given access to the college library, accorded appropriate privileges, and have adequate library resources convenient for use at the site where the course is offered. (2) High school students in dual credit courses will be provided the academic support services, including academic advising and counseling, as those on the college campus. (3) High school students in dual credit courses needing accommodations due to the presence of a disability are responsible for contacting the Disability Services Office of the sponsoring college and high school. Dual credit course location will determine responsibility for provision of academic accommodations authorized by College Disability Services Office (DSO). Specific accommodations on the high school campus requiring classroom personnel or technology will be authorized by College DSO and provided by the high school. Accommodations for courses offered at the college will be provided by the college. (4) If a student is enrolled simultaneously in college and high school in a dual credit program, the two schools may share information regarding the student. This complies with 34 CFR 99.34(b). (5) All other services provided to college students will be provided to high school students enrolled in dual credit courses. G. Eligible Courses (1) Courses to be offered must be college-level courses included in the current edition of the Lower Division Academic Course Guide Manual or the Workforce Education Course Guide Manual approved by THECB. Course name and number are subject to change. (2) Dual credit classes must be equal in quality and rigor to classes on the college campus. (3) Textbooks, textbook access codes, required course supplies/instructional tools and other materials to be utilized will be those normally used or approved by full-time faculty teaching the course at the college. (4) The syllabus will contain all elements common to the syllabi for the same course as taught at the college. (5) Regular academic policies applicable to courses taught at the college's main campus must also apply to dual credit courses. These policies include the appeal process for disputed grades, drop policy, the communication of grading policy to students, and the distribution of a syllabus comparable to that utilized on the college campus. 23
25 (6) Colleges will not receive formula funding from the state for PHED 1164 dual credit course. Legislation does not restrict higher education institutions from enrolling dual credit students in PHED 1164, but state funding will not be provided to the college. H. Transcription of Credit. Transcription of dual credit courses on a college transcript should be handled exactly as it is for other college-level courses. I. Funding (1) State funding for dual credit courses will be available to the public school district and the college based on the current funding rules of the State Board of Education and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. (2) The college may claim funding for students getting college credit in core curriculum, select academic courses, career and technical education, and foreign language dual credit courses approved by and in keeping with Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board policies. This provision does not apply to students enrolled in approved Early College High School programs. J. Salaries - The college may contract to pay the high school the equivalent of the adjunct faculty for the course based on credit hours. A pro rata portion of the salary correlated to enrollment may be appropriate. The high school determines the compensation for its dual credit approved instructor. K. Tuition and Cost- By written agreement with various high schools, the College District is authorized to offer dual credit enrollment classes to high school students as permitted by Chapter 130 of the Texas Education Code. The Chancellor or designee is authorized to enter into these agreements. Tuition Scholarship: (1) In County- A signed agreement between the college and the school district, charter school, private school, or home school must be on file and indicate students enrolled in dual credit courses shall not pay tuition. One tuition scholarship per dual credit course per student is allowed. Tuition scholarship is not awarded to high school students enrolled in college courses where only college credit is awarded. Such agreements will be made with school districts, charter schools, private schools, or home schools located within Dallas County. Tuition scholarship is not awarded for repeated courses. Student and/or high school are responsible for tuition and additional costs of any repeated course(s). (2) Out of County and In State- A signed agreement may be made with a school district, charter school, private school, or home school located outside of Dallas County and within the state of Texas. Tuition will be charged for eligible dual credit courses, including online dual credit courses. Tuition shall be charged at the DCCCD in-county tuition rates. To the extent dual credit courses are to be offered outside of Dallas County and within the State of Texas and involve additional costs for specialized equipment or supplies, the written dual credit agreement shall specify the additional course costs associated with same. (3) Students may take no more courses than permitted by the TEA course graduation guidelines. L. For the purposes of dual credit, neither the high school nor the college should charge the other any expenses associated with the use of facilities. (As for expenses that might apply specifically to an Early College High School, please refer to the Early College High School Guidelines and/or Agreements/Amendments. M. College may charge ISD or high school (public, private, charter or home) as specified in agreement for the cost of textbooks, textbook access codes, specialized equipment, required course supplies, instructional tools and the cost of additional DCCCD personnel to assist in labs/classrooms. Students will be responsible 24
26 for the cost of textbooks, textbook access codes, required course supplies, and instructional tools when such costs are not being provided by the ISD or high school. N. Students may initially take all three component areas of the college's Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) at no cost and re-test once within each of the three component areas at no cost. For additional testing, student or high school will pay for re-test costs. 2. The college may contract with school districts as outlined above to provide remedial courses for students enrolled in a public secondary school in preparation for graduation from high school. Such courses are not eligible for state formula funding. Such courses may not be offered for dual course credit. The college may not waive tuition for remedial courses unless approved by the DCCCD Board. 3. Sexual misconduct involving HS students and/or College faculty or students shall be addressed by both the HS and the College. The HS shall promptly report to College administration any complaints of sexual misconduct made by or against a student, employee or guest of the College. All other misconduct, behavioral problems, and any disciplinary measures resulting therefrom concerning HS students while at the College/ High School are the sole responsibility of the HS. College shall report in writing such disciplinary problems to the HS Administration. College may, at its sole discretion, refuse to admit students with a history of disciplinary problems. Sexual misconduct is any act of sex/gender-based discrimination or harassment, sexual harassment, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, relationship violence, sex/gender-based stalking, or any other conduct that threatens the health and safety of any person on the basis of actual, expressed or perceived gender identity. 4.
