Bay City High School

Dual Credit

What is Dual Credit?

Dual Credit is a form of enrollment that allows a high school student to take certain courses to earn both college and high school credit. Dual Credit courses (and the grades that students earn in those courses) become a permanent part of the student's college and high school transcripts.  The college courses at BCHS are offered through Wharton County Junior College (WCJC) and University of Houston-Victoria (UHV).

Who is eligible?

Students must have met Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements for reading/writing and/or math by passing a state-recognized test as listed in the chart below to take dual credit classes. Students are not limited to a specific number of credit hours that they can enroll in for dual credit or concurrent course work. However, the student's high school may have limits on the number of credits that can be applied to the student's high school graduation plan.
