DUAL-CREDIT PROGRAM
In Dual Credit, a student is enrolled in a course which allows him/her to earn high school credit and college credit simultaneously.
This course may be taught on a college campus or on a high school campus, but it will be in conjunction with a college or
university. Dual credit courses must comply with KRS 158.007(8) which defined dual credit as "a college-level course of study
developed in accordance with KRS 164.098 in which a high school student receives credit from both the high school and
postsecondary institution in which the student is enrolled upon completion of a single class or designated program of study."
Student Eligibility
To enroll and obtain college credit in a dual credit course, a student must:
A. Meet the postsecondary institution’s dual credit requirements for admission.
B. Be admitted to the participating postsecondary institution as a dual credit student.
C. Meet the postsecondary requirements for each program’s placement into college credit-bearing courses or courses in
programs of study that align to a career pathway.
D. Complete the postsecondary institution’s application for admission and a dual credit form for both the postsecondary
institution and school district.
Tuition and Fees
A. Prior to course registration and posted online, tuition and other fees for dual credit courses will be outlined in writing
and provided to each student, parent and/or guardian, and secondary school by the postsecondary institution prior to
enrollment in such courses.
B. The Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) shall provide student support for dual credit
scholarships through funding provided by the General Assembly for the existing Mary Jo Young Scholarship or other
newly created dual credit scholarship programs administered by KHEAA.
C. The parent/guardian of the student will be responsible for any dual credit tuition and expenses beyond the support
provided by the K.C.S.D., KHEAA and the postsecondary institution.
Enrollment and Credit
During the school day, a qualifying student may enroll for up to six (6) hours of college course work per semester and be awarded
both graduation requirement credit(s) at the home high school and college hours at the post-secondary institution. Any additional
course hours beyond the six (6) hours must be outside of the school day unless it is part of the student’s career pathway through
work ready scholarship coursework. The student must submit an out of school enrollment form to notify the district that he/she is
pursuing additional college credit. College classes can be substituted for any required high school course or similar course offered
in the Kentucky Program of Studies. All other courses will be recorded on the transcript as an elective. Grades for college courses
will be weighted and included in calculation of cumulative GPA.
Each participating high school will develop specific SBDM policy to outline requirements for participation at each post-secondary
institution. These requirements will include the following criteria:
a) Parental permission and Guidance Counselor recommendation will be required.
b) Students who participate will be responsible for transportation, fees, tuition, and/or any other associated costs. Students
must provide official documentation to the high school of participation in college courses and grades awarded.
c) A check-in and check-out procedure (similar to what is used for co-op students) must be developed. This extended
education experience will be part of the school day/program of the student.
d) Supervision of students on school days that college classes do not meet will be the responsibility of the high school.
College classes can be substituted for any required high school course. Grades for college courses will be weighted and included
in calculation of cumulative GPA.

For purposes of KRS 157.360, a student who receives home/hospital instruction for a minimum of two (2) instructional sessions per week,
