DUAL CREDIT/COLLEGE CREDIT LEARNING INFORMATION

A variety of dual credit learning opportunities are offered at Wahoo High School. Students and parents need to carefully research the needs/wants of the student as well as the prerequisites required by the college to take such courses. Students may be required to have taken the ACT (4-year college entrance test), or a 2-year college's entrance exam (in Nebraska, this is typically called the Accuplacer test) prior to being allowed to enroll in dual credit classes. Scores from these tests must meet the college's prerequisite for the course the student is interested in taking as a high school student. Wahoo High School must comply with the college's prerequisite requirements.
 
Students and parents need to determine whether a college the student is applying to for admission will accept the dual credit courses the student plans to take in high school as transfer credit to that college. Parents and students will be solely responsible to the college for any concerns that may arise regarding attendance, student grades, deadlines, tuition, books, fees, transcripts, etc., since college-only courses are outside Wahoo High School's authority and control. Students and their parent/guardians are responsible for all college costs, which include: college tuition, fees, textbooks, as well as knowing the college's drop/add or withdraw dates. Financial assistance may be available for students who meet free/reduced lunch guidelines. See the high school counselor for more information.
 
Most college programs offered at WHS require a minimum registration requirement of eight (8) students before a college agrees to offer the course. If one registered student drops a dual credit course the remaining seven (7) registered students may be forcibly dropped from the course as well. This causes serious scheduling issues with all of the WHS students involved in dual credit courses as well as reluctance on the college's part to continue to offer dual credit courses for WHS students. Wahoo High School may assess a fee to students who drop a dual credit class after submitting their college registration form or drop a dual credit class after the college’s established drop deadline.
 
Dual credit enrollment courses are offered through a statewide consortium, consisting of numerous Nebraska high schools and two-year and four-year colleges. Wahoo High School typically participates in dual enrollment course that are offered through Southeast Community College (SCC).  Dual credit courses are NOT to replace required classes for graduation at WHS. For example, American History after 1877 cannot replace WHS's U.S. History, but students may take both during the same semester.
 

Typically, enrollment of high school students in dual credit courses is limited to students age 16 or older who have demonstrated the ability to be successful in college level courses.  Classes taken for college credit will be recorded on a permanent college transcript unless the student drops a class prior to the established deadline. Regular tuition and fees will be charged and billed to the student. Parents are responsible for all tuition and fees. Students enrolled must abide by all the colleges rules and regulations including drop deadlines for tuition refunds. Students are responsible for completing drop/add forms and contacting and informing the college for adding or dropping a course and all subsequent costs/fees. Failing dual credit classes has consequences and may cause a student to be ineligible for Federal Financial Aid after graduation. If payment is not received, the college reserves the right to withdraw the student or place a "hold" on the student's account which will affect the ability to register for future classes and/or to receive official college transcripts. Students are responsible to follow the college's calendar for class. There will be times when Wahoo High School will NOT be in session, when the college WILL be in session, and vice versa.
 
If a student transfers out of Wahoo High School prior to the end of a semester and completion of a dual credit class, the student needs to anticipate that s/he will be billed for all tuition and fees. The high school transcript may reflect a W/F for the dual college course. It is extremely important for students and parent/guardians to determine if there is a high level of commitment in taking any dual credit class at the time the student registers for class.
 
Collegiate textbooks can be ordered online from the SCC bookstore (www.sccbookstore.com). Students taking a dual credit course taught by WHS instructors should check with the instructor prior to ordering textbooks. Students should plan to have textbooks on or prior to the first day of classes. Online or adjunct college professors will use students’ email accounts to contact them prior to the first day of classes to give instructions on how to use the college resources. Students must regularly check their email accounts to stay current with communication.
