What happens if a student earns a D or an F in a Dual Credit class?
If a student earns a D in a dual credit course he/she may receive high school credit, however a D does not transfer to another institution. This would result in the student needing to retake the college course to transfer the credit earned.
If a student earns an F in a dual credit course, he/she will not receive high school or college credit for the course. Students earning a dual credit grade below C will no longer be eligible to continue in the dual credit program.
A student must earn a C or higher to continue to be eligible to enroll in dual credit courses.
What is the process for dropping or withdrawing from a Dual Credit class?
If a student chooses to withdraw from a college course, he or she must contact Ms. Wallace FIRST. Ms. Wallace can assist the student in withdrawing from the college side of a dual credit course. The student must complete and submit an official college Withdrawal Form prior to the college's last official date for withdrawal. Failure to do so could result in the student receiving an "F" on his/her official LSC transcript. The student will also need to work with their high school counselor to enroll in the appropriate high school course.

Withdrawals after the official drop-date may result in a student receiving an F on the student’s college transcript.
