Dual Credit at Lone Star College
Dual credit courses allow high school students to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously. These courses are available through Lone Star College (LSC) and can be taken at the student’s high school, on an LSC campus, or online. Students must demonstrate college readiness through placement exams and gain approval from their high school principal or designee. LSC offers these courses at a reduced tuition rate, with students responsible for tuition and textbooks.
Lone Star College partners with independent school districts, charter schools, private schools, and homeschool parents to offer a wide range of dual credit courses, including core curriculum, foreign languages, and workforce education. The specific courses available depend on the school or district, which also determines how these courses fit into a student’s graduation plan. Students must be admitted through LSC’s exceptional admissions program to enroll. A list of approved dual credit courses is available, and students must consult with their school to ensure alignment with their academic goals.

Note: Registration deadlines for dual credit differ from the regular college registration deadlines. Please refer to your school's dual credit enrollment deadlines.
