Dual Credit

Dual Credit Application

Dual credit courses provide high school students an opportunity to experience rigorous college-level coursework and to receive, simultaneously, both high school and college- level course credit. Providing dual credit opportunities to high school students not only works to increase the number of students graduating from high school and attending college, but also to reduce students’ costs and time to degree completion.

Dual credit academic and career technical courses are of the same rigor and quality as all other College courses. Instructors of dual credit courses meet the same credentialing standards required of MACC instructors. College texts and syllabi are followed for dual credit courses.

To be eligible to enroll in dual credit courses, students must meet the placement standards of MACC and the following guidelines:

Students in the 11th and 12th grades with an overall minimum grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) are automatically eligible for dual credit courses.

Students in the 11th and 12th grades with an overall grade point average between 2.5 – 2.99 (on a 4.0 scale) must provide a signed letter of recommendation from their principal or guidance counselor and provide written permission from a parent or legal guardian.

Students in the 10th grade must have an overall minimum grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) and must provide a signed letter of recommendation from their principal and guidance counselor and provide written permission from a parent or legal guardian.

Students in the 9th grade must have an overall minimum grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale), score at the 90th percentile or above on the ACT or SAT, and provide a signed letter of recommendation from their principal and guidance counselor and provide written permission from a parent or legal guardian.

Students’ fees may be paid by the high school district or by the student, as determined by the agreement between the high school district and Moberly Area Community College.

MACC’s Dual Credit Program follows the policies and program expectations outlined in the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education’s Policy on Dual Credit Delivery and the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships’ Accreditation Standards.
