6 Frequently Asked Questions About Dual Credit What is dual credit? It s an opportunity for eligible high school students to earn lower division college credit during their regular high school classes. The credits are treated the same as regular college credit, and are transferable to other Maricopa Community Colleges, Arizona s state universities, and many out of state colleges. What are the benefits of dual credit? Since you re already in the class, why not get college credit for it? Classes are taught by high school instructors who meet the same requirements as a college adjunct instructor. You can also save money through community college tuition rates and having your textbooks provided by your high school. Tuition is approximately 1/3 the cost of state universities! What is the AGEC? Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is a 35 semester credit lower division general education curriculum block that fulfills the lower division general education requirements at ASU, NAU or U of A. The courses in an AGEC are similar to the areas required for a high school diploma or a GED [General Education Development]: (1) English Composition,(2) Mathematics, (3) Arts and Humanities,(4) Social and Behavioral Sciences, and (5) Physical and Biological Sciences. Courses must be completed with a C or better and will provide exemption from AZ university admission requirements with a minimum 2.5 GPA. Who is eligible to enroll? Dual credit students must be attending a participating high school and meet the general eligibility requirement of PSAT 93 or SAT 930 or ACT 22 or completion of the Reading Accuplacer test. English and math classes require a qualifying placement test score. What if I don t pass the placement test? You can take the placement test again 24 hours after the original test. A third test is allowed no sooner than three months from the oldest test date. A fourth test will only be allowed two years after the oldest test date. How much does dual credit cost? The in state, in county tuition rate is $84 per credit hour. There is an additional $15 registration fee per semester for each college you do dual credit through. (Tuition is subject to change.) What if I don t want to do dual credit after signing up, or I change my schedule? It is the student s responsibility to drop the class through one of the following methods: 1. the Dual Credit office at dualcredit@cgc.edu with your name, college ID number, high school, and the class you want to add, drop, or change 2. Come in person to the Coyote Center at our Pecos campus and submit a drop/add form. Only classes dropped before the payment deadline will remove tuition fees or initiate a refund for tuition already paid. Dropping a class after the payment deadline will result in a grade of W on your transcript and you will still be responsible for paying tuition, or be ineligible for a refund if you've already paid tuition. What happens if I don't pay tuition? You will be automatically dropped for nonpayment from all fall and spring course(s) without notification.
