Dual Credit Registration and Payment Deadline -- May 19
Collin College has begun registering Plano ISD students in their dual credit courses based on the approved permission form submitted by your High School Counselor. At this time students need to log into Cougar Web and pay for their dual credit classes. The registration and payment deadline for Plano ISD is May 19th at 5pm. Below is a helpful guide on how to make a payment through Cougar Web.
If you would like to enroll in the payment plan option, sign up here and further instructions will be provided at a later date. We ask that you provide an email address that you will check to ensure you will receive the instructions on how to set up the payment plan. Failure to pay tuition in full or sign up for the payment plan will result in the student being dropped from dual credit for non-payment.
Additionally, we would like you to view your dual credit classes in the system to make sure you are signed up for the correct classes. For now, please ignore the times on the courses as those will be adjusted in early August once Collin receives the rosters from each campus.
How to view your class schedule:
Log into CougarWeb

Click My Class Schedule
Term drop down, select Credit Fall 2022
Please continue to check your email you used to apply to Collin College. You may still have holds to complete before Collin College can register you in your courses.
Please communicate with your campus counselor if you have any questions about the dual credit courses.

Just Breathe (Audiobook)
By Cammie McGovern
Romance
From the critically acclaimed author of A Step Toward Falling and Say What You Will comes a new YA standalone about mental health, chronic illness, and two teenagers learning to deal with both while falling for each other, perfect for fans of Five Feet Apart.
David Sheinman is the popular president of his senior class, battling cystic fibrosis.
Jamie Turner is a quiet sophomore, struggling with depression.
The pair soon realizes that they can be their true selves with each other, and their unlikely friendship develops into something so much more. But neither Jamie nor David can bring themselves to reveal the secrets that weigh most heavily on their hearts—and their time for honesty may be running out.
Kingdom of Souls (Audiobook)
By Rena Barton
Fantasy
A girl with no gifts must bargain for the power to fight her own mother’s dark schemes--even if the price is her life.
Heir to two lines of powerful witchdoctors, Arrah yearns for magic of her own. Yet she fails at bone magic, fails to call upon her ancestors, and fails to live up to her family’s legacy. Under the disapproving eye of her mother, the Kingdom’s most powerful priestess and seer, she fears she may never be good enough.
But when the Kingdom’s children begin to disappear, Arrah is desperate enough to turn to a forbidden, dangerous ritual. If she has no magic of her own, she’ll have to buy it—by trading away years of her own life.
Arrah’s borrowed power reveals a nightmarish betrayal, and on its heels, a rising tide of darkness that threatens to consume her and all those she loves. She must race to unravel a twisted and deadly scheme… before the fight costs more than she can afford.
