Policies are current as of the date of this revision (4/1/2023). All policies are subject to change without
notice to meet mandates of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Texas Education Agency,
or the Texas Leg.

1. To be eligible for enrollment in dual credit, students usually will have completed their sophomore year in high school by the time the course begins. Exception: Students who demonstrate college readiness on state approved tests may be approved by the high school and the KC VP of Instruction to enroll in college courses prior to completion of the sophomore year.
2. High school students are generally limited to two courses per semester. Exception: Students who have met the required minimum scores in reading, writing, and math may enroll in three or more dual credit courses during the fall or spring semesters. Students wishing to take more than two courses who have not met required minimum scores in all three areas require permission from the Vice President of Instruction. In a standard summer term, a student may enroll in a maximum of two courses. Students may enroll in only one mini-term course at a time.
3. Students enrolling in more than two dual credit courses in a semester must pass all courses during that semester with a grade of C or better to continue to enroll in more than two courses in the following semesters, per State of Texas regulations.
4. A student must meet all of the college’s regular course prerequisites and demonstrate college readiness by achieving the minimum passing standards under the provisions of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI).
5. A student may neither enroll in a college level course in which he/she requires remediation nor take developmental classes at Kilgore College.
6. While taking courses through Kilgore College, the student must adhere to all college policies and regulations contained in the dual credit handbook, college catalog, student handbook, registration guide, and course syllabus.
7. A final high school transcript must be provided after graduation, even if not attending KC after graduation.
8. General academic courses offered through the dual credit program are courses that are commonly required for either an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. Acceptance of credit by another institution, however, is left to the discretion of the receiving institution. Public universities in Texas are not required to accept more than 66 hours of transfer coursework from a community college, and some private universities do not accept dual credit courses.
