Para ser considerado para crédito dual:

College eligibility is not guaranteed and can change at any point at the discretion of the Lewisville School of Science & Technology Administrative team. Students who become ineligible after registration will complete a class drop form, indicated by a “W” on their college transcript. Students who are dropped from a class or who elect to drop a class can be subject to college eligibility penalties per the administration policy. Students must drop their classes by the specified withdrawal date to avoid academic penalty.

Dual credit courses become a permanent part of a student’s college transcript. Students can’t retake a course for a better grade unless they fail it.

Staying eligible: Students must earn a C (70) or higher in every dual credit course. NCTC grades on this scale: A = 90–100, B = 80–89, C = 70–79, D = 60–69, F = below 60.

If a student earns below a C (69 or lower), they can’t register for dual credit the next long semester (fall or spring; Summer I and II together count as one). After sitting out one semester, they can re-enroll with approval from their high school counselor.

High school credit: NCTC reports a numeric grade for every course, and we record that grade on the high school transcript. A student needs a 70 or higher to earn high school credit.

A student who fails a dual credit course that’s also a graduation requirement (for example, HIST 1301, U.S. History) may have to retake it. The failing grade still stays on both the college and high school transcripts, so it’s important to take dual credit seriously.

La mayoría de las universidades proporcionarán a la preparatoria una calificación numérica para los cursos de doble crédito al final de cada semestre. Las escuelas usarán esa calificación para calcular el promedio general (GPA). Si una universidad proporciona calificaciones con letras, el GPA debe basarse en la siguiente conversión: A = 95, B = 85, C = 75 y D = 70. The grade earned at the college level will be recorded on the student’s high school transcript. A student who receives a grade below 70 will not earn high school credit for the course.

Lewisville School of Science & Technology currently works in partnership with NCTC (North Central Texas College). Please contact us for details.

Cualquier estudiante de crédito dual activo inscrito en la Escuela de Ciencia y Tecnología de Lewisville debe leer y firmar una copia del Documento de Expectativas de los Estudiantes de Crédito Dual.

Through the partnership with the state of Texas and the designation of our campus as a P-TECH campus, students who meet the criteria for dual credit and are actively pursuing a P-TECH pathway at Lewisville School of Science & Technology may enroll in dual credit courses at no cost. This means the student must be enrolled in a CTE course that leads to the completion of their P-TECH Pathway to be eligible for Dual Credit courses. Dual Credit enrollment through Lewisville School of Science & Technology includes course and textbook fees.

Si un estudiante se da de baja de un curso de doble crédito después del inicio del semestre, o si reprueba el curso, podría tener que reembolsar a la Escuela de Ciencia y Tecnología de Lewisville el costo del curso y los libros de texto. El pago se realiza a través de Skyward.

En el estado de Texas, según el Proyecto de Ley del Senado 25,, the core 42 (42 hours of the core curriculum) is transferable to a public college and/or university in Texas.

For out-of-state and private institutions, it will be up to the ‘receiving’ institution as to what credit and how much that college/university will take as transfer credit. (Best practice is to contact the admissions department of the college/university and inquire about specific transfer credits.)

The Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 (TSIA2) is a test that measures college readiness. Students must pass this test in order to be admitted into college courses. The three main portions of this test are Reading, Writing, and Math. The Reading and Math tests are multiple-choice only, and the Writing test consists of multiple-choice and a short essay. Passing the Reading and Writing tests will allow entry into most college courses, with the exception of math classes and math-centered science classes.  

La prueba TSIA2 se administra, de forma gratuita, dos veces al año en la Escuela de Ciencias y Tecnología de Lewisville (generalmente en octubre y febrero).
