Dual Credit
Dual Credit courses are college courses taken during high school. Students who successfully complete dual credit courses earn both high school and college credit for one course. Plano ISD partners with Collin County Community College District to offer dual credit courses.
Plano ISD offers both academic and Workforce Education dual credit courses. College course grades earned in dual credit courses are on the student’s college transcript as well as the high school transcript. There are tuition fees associated with dual credit courses, but students receiving free or reduced lunch benefits may have tuition waived.

Benefits of Dual Credit
Many dual credit courses transfer to Texas public colleges and universities, private institutions, and some out-of-state colleges and universities. Completing dual credit courses can accelerate time to degree completion which also allows students to save money on college tuition. Taking college courses while in high school can help build confidence in students and ease the transition to college, and increases the likelihood of graduating from college.
Cost of Dual Credit
At Collin Community College, a 3-credit hour course is $54 per semester hour or $162 per 3-hour class. Students and parents may save significantly on tuition and fees by taking dual credit courses while in high school.
