Dual Credit
Dual Credit is an opportunity for qualified sophomore, junior and senior students (2.0 GPA or higher) to enroll in college courses that earn both high school and college credit simultaneously without having to leave the high school campus. Dual Credit is a platform that provides for a seamless transition from secondary to postsecondary education. It involves close collaboration between high school and college educators through ongoing communication and planning for an integrated program of study. There are several benefits and challenges associated with dual credit courses. The majority of UCHS Dual Credit courses are part of the Missouri CORE 42, which means they are transferable to any public college or university in the State of Missouri.
The School District of University City will pay the St. Louis Community College (STLCC) dual credit tuition fee ($25 per credit hour) for all Core 42 courses. This includes dual credit courses that serve as a prerequisite for Core 42 and pathway courses.
Course Prerequisites
Dual credit students must satisfy the same course prerequisites required of non-dual credit students. These prerequisites are outlined in the STLCC course catalog.
