COVID-19 MESSAGE FOR DUAL CREDIT STUDENTS

Cisco College Dual Credit Students,

As COVID-19 comes into our daily lives, the Dual Credit Department at Cisco College wants to make you aware of the ongoing precautions we are taking for our students.

Cisco College is moving ALL face-to-face classes online.

As of right now, ALL courses, beginning next week, March 23, will be moved online. This will be for the duration of the spring 2020 semester.

Courses that were already online should be completed as scheduled as well as any 8-week courses that began on March 16, 2020.

Instructors of courses will be posting course content and any other information through Canvas, to let you know what needs to be done.

We already have classes online and we feel this will be a great way to continue your education, the health of our students is at the forefront of this ever-changing situation.

We will keep you updated as things evolve.

Dual credit allows high school students to earn college credit and high school credit concurrently. Cisco College partners with more than 40 regional high schools to deliver a quality college education for a fraction of typical college and university tuition costs. Dual credit serves to expand academic options for college-bound students and familiarize them early with college curriculum and expectations.

The Associate of Arts (A.A.) and Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees are general studies degrees designed for transfer to a university, or for students seeking a 2-year general education degree. Students may complete an A.A. degree or A.S. degree with an emphasis in their area of academic interest or intended major after transferring to a 4-year university.

The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree is designed for students seeking a 2-year degree in a technical, health sciences, or workforce program.

Benefits of Cisco College's Dual Credit program include:

• Reduction of time required to complete an undergraduate degree.
• Ability to transfer dual credit courses to most higher education institutions.
• Develop skills and gain valuable experience in career and technology fields prior to graduation.
• Significantly reduce the cost of higher education.
• Earning college credits while in high school increases the likelihood that a student will complete high school and enroll in and persist in college.
• Rigorous and meaningful coursework in high school prepares the student for success in college.

Current Locations

Cisco College maintains a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with each high school partner. Signed MOUs are on file with the Dual Credit Office.
