Ravin Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Usually 1 for a 3 credit hour course. Which is how I wound up with no English or math classes my senior year of high school. I took college courses jr year, 2 semesters = 2 year credits for HS, so I'd met the requirements for English of 4 credits, and they literally had no math courses for me to take beyond the calculus I'd already had (I graduated HS with 5 math credits). Ditto chemistry and biology, iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 1 for a 3 credit class here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm using the same equivalents that the local school uses. They give 1 credit for every semester of math, science, visual/performing arts, foreign language (including ASL), accounting, digital imaging, biotechnology, drafting, and dc-ac circuits. They give 1/2 credit for every semester of English, government, economics, geography, psychology, sociology, intro to humanities, p.e., business classes, journalism, computer science, and criminal justice classes.

Brigid in NC Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 1 high school credit for a 3 credit CC class. My ds took some 4 credit CC classes too (science w/lab). I gave 1 credit for those too, to keep it simple. ~Brigid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 That is exactly what it was, a 3 credit college course. If I would have known they were only going to give us .5, I would not have had her take them. Heads up to Icademy users, dont dual enroll.

Yolanda in Mass Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Umm, isn't it generally understood that 1 semester at cc is equivalent to 1 year at the high school level? Don't get caught up on the numbers but focus rather the substance of what the student is learning. The college will clearly see on the transcript that it's a cc course and not a high school course. Although there are always exceptions, that's a very big difference and will be taken into account. Most cc courses move a lot faster than high school courses, or at least deeper.

Melissa B Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 We will use the credit procedures pre-determined by our local school board for dual enrolled public high school students. Levels 1 and 2 of foreign languages count as 1 credit. Levels 3 and 4 count as .5 credit. Most science and math classes count as 1 credit and most history/humanities classes count as .5 credit.
