Dual Credit Process

To enter the Dual Credit Program with Amarillo  College, a student must go through several steps. They are as follows:

  1. Determine if the high schools requirements for dual credit are met by talking to the high school counselor.
  2. Determine if the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Guidelines for admission into the Dual Credit program are met. This measure is based on testing. Students may be eligible for dual credit based on TAKS, EOC, PLAN, PSAT, ACT, or SAT. If these tests do meet TSI Guidelines, a student may take the TSI Assessment. See Testing Requirements. The test used for eligibility must be on file with Amarillo College.
  3. Complete an application for admission at Amarillo College. See Apply for Admission. Completing an Application for admission does not enroll/register students for classes.
  4. Register/Enroll for classes online. 
  5. Pay for classes. Dual Credit classes cost $50 per credit hour. Most dual credit classes are 3 hours, costing $150.

To drop or withdraw from the college credit portion of the course, talk to the instructor of the course you are wanting to drop/see the Dual Credit Coordinator on your campus.
