Dual Credit Online

Why Online Dual Credit?

Expands accessibility to rigorous, relevant, online college credit courses.
Students may attend class 24/7 - from the convenience of their high school campus or from home.
Builds in additional flexibility for students trying to juggle a demanding personal schedule.
Online classes provide opportunities for students to receive direct and timely feedback through open communication outside of the traditional classroom.
Online instruction may provide a more comfortable environment which encourages students to participate in discussions and projects. Many students normally shy in a traditional classroom become more engaged and responsive in an online class.
Courses offered use new technology literacies already familiar to students, such as pod casts, RSS feeds, blogs, Instant Messaging, wikis, etc.
Online dual credit assists school districts in finding college credentialed faculty (may also help districts in meeting the demands of 4x4).
Provides a secure environment for high school students to participate in college opportunities.
Assists students in completing prerequisite courses that may be required for acceptance to college programs (e.g., Health Science programs).
Students have the opportunity to accelerate their time to completion of a high school and/or college certificate or degree.
Specially trained college faculty for dual credit online instruction.
