Career and Technology Potential Dual Credit Courses Career and Technology Education offers Academic Dual Credit Courses and Workforce Education Course Manual (WECM) Dual Credit Courses for juniors and seniors. Potential Dual Credit courses cover all high school TEKS as well as equivalent curriculum for the accompanying two-year college courses. Dual Credit can be earned from one of the Alamo Colleges (Palo Alto College, St. Philip s College and San Antonio College). Palo Alto College, St. Philip s College, and San Antonio College offer different types of courses in partnership with NEISD. Acceptance of credit by other higher education institutions is up to the receiving institution. It is the student s responsibility to contact any other higher education institution in regards to acceptance of these credits. Students are allowed to take a maximum of two dual credit courses a semester. Students must qualify for admissions to the college and register by the deadline. Qualifications for admission may vary by college. NEISD reserves the right to cancel at anytime a potential dual credit course for any reason (adjunct faculty availability, lack of agreement with college, curriculum alignment, etc.). POTENTIAL DUAL CREDIT COURSE HIGH SCHOOL TYPE/COLLEGE Business Information Management I Churchill, Johnson, Madison, Reagan St. Philips College (WECM) Business Information Management II Churchill, Johnson, Madison, Reagan St. Philips College (WECM) Anatomy and Physiology Churchill, Reagan Palo Alto College (Academic) Advanced Technical Credit Program The Advanced Technical Credit (ATC) Program gives high school students a chance to receive credit at participating community colleges across Texas for taking certain enhanced technical courses during high school. All the participating community colleges have agreed to offer students credit for these courses, provided the college offers the course and the student meets certain criteria. For a high school to offer an ATC course to its students, the teacher of the course must meet the ATC teacher requirements, go through ATC training and teach the high school course so that it is enhanced to meet the content of the equivalent college course. ATC courses are only offered in technical or workforce areas - courses in academic areas such as English or history are not offered as ATC courses. The Texas Education Agency has revised the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for all Career and Technology courses as well as the course titles. These changes are effective beginning with the 2010-2011 school year. As a result, the Advanced Technical Credit Program has not determined the courses that will qualify for ATC credit at the time of this publication. This information will be available in spring 2010. ATC courses offered by NEISD will depend on TEKS realignment, teacher certifications and notifications from the state on changes in the articulation agreements.
