Dual Credit
What is it?
Dual credit is an opportunity for high school students who meet admissions standards to enroll in public postsecondary institutions in South Dakota and simultaneously earn credits for both their high school diploma and postsecondary degree or certificate.
Dual credit courses are offered by the postsecondary institution’s faculty members, are governed by the postsecondary institution’s policies, and follow the postsecondary institution’s established processes for admissions, registration, billing and grade reporting. Courses include college-level content and subject matter; students choosing to participate will be held to the same expectations and standards as college students.
Through a program approved by the South Dakota Legislature, dual credit coursework is available to high school students in grades 11-12 at the rate of $48.33 per credit. That compares to about $200 per credit at the state’s four technical colleges and $300 per credit at the state’s public universities. Students are responsible for the $48.33 per-credit cost and any required textbooks or related course materials.
A local school district has the authority to decide whether dual credit courses may count as elective credit or credit toward graduation requirements. The South Dakota Department of Education encourages local school districts to allow courses to count as credit toward graduation requirements. For example, if a student takes POLS 100 (American Government) for dual credit, it is recommended the course count towards the U.S. Government graduation requirement. A local school district also has the authority to determine how dual credit courses will equate to high school units of credit. The South Dakota Department of Education encourages local school districts use a 3:1 conversion as a guide. For example, a 3-credit dual credit course would equate to 1 full high school unit of credit.
Students are able to choose from a number of on-campus and online classes, including general education and career and technical education courses.
Who is eligible?
A student who will be a junior or senior in high school during the 2023-24 school year who has earned a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50 on a 4.0 scale; or. earn an ACT composite score of 24 reflective of the 70% percentile (or equivalent SAT score of 1180).
