College Coursework/Dual Credit

Grading practices are based on the Memorandum of Understanding with Collin College

Students will be expected to meet all requirements of the dual credit and concurrent enrollment class and will receive letter grades on their Collin College transcript. College faculty will provide numeric grades at the end of the semester to be weighted or factored into the student's high school grade point average as determined by the high school district. Mid-term grades will be provided upon request. Faculty members teaching dual credit courses will alert both the college liaison and the designated high school counselor of any students having academic difficulty.

Faculty are conscious of FERPA guidelines when communicating with students about grades. Grade information is not provided over the phone or via non-college email. Currently, grades of A, B, C, D, F, and I are awarded by faculty to each student on their college transcript. Grades of “I” are only temporary and must be resolved by the end of the next long semester. Numeric grades are also provided to the high school. If a student withdraws from a course, a “W” will appear on the student’s college transcript.
