The difference between Dual Credit and Co-enrollment or Concurrent Courses is as follows:

• Dual Credit:
  • Dual credit is earned when students complete college credit courses with acceptable grades, gain approval of their high school, and use these college credit courses to satisfy high school graduation requirements
  • Each school district determines which college credit courses they will accept as dual credit in accordance with their district course approval guidelines and how students will satisfy high school graduation requirements. It is important to check with your high school counselor for the most current list of approved dual credit courses.
• Co-enrollment or Concurrent Courses:
  • A student may enroll in a college credit course and receive only the college credit for that course

The Amarillo College website is a great place to learn about Dual Credit opportunities via Amarillo College, as well as a useful course offerings list categorized by AISD school campus.

Amarillo College and Amarillo ISD entered into a 2-year dual credit agreement in December 2020. To see a signed copy of the agreement, please contact Amarillo College or AISD.
