Dual Credit/Concurrent Enrollment
A dual credit student receives credit for a Vernon College course, which also transfers back to the local high school for Carnegie Unit(s). A concurrent student will only receive credit at the college. High school students may be admitted to dual credit/concurrent enrollment by receiving permission from their high school, parent, and designated college administrators.
To be eligible for high school concurrent enrollment in a concurrent credit course resulting in academic transfer credit or credit toward an associate degree, the student must provide Vernon College with passing scores on the applicable sections of the Texas Success Initiative assessment. Students meeting any exemption or eligibility listed in the Texas Success Initiative section of this catalog may also use that exemption for the purposes of concurrent enrollment.
To be eligible for high school concurrent enrollment in a Texas Success Initiative waived certificate program, students must have passed applicable sections of their most current high school competency test and otherwise be meeting graduation requirements as defined by their high school.
