Dual Credit is generally open to high school juniors and seniors who meet GPA, placement, or testing requirements set by their school and Kish.

Dual Credit

Dual Credit courses are taken at your high school and taught by a high school teacher who meets Kishwaukee College’s credential requirements.

• You earn both high school credit and college credit.
• Courses follow your high school’s schedule.
• Tuition is often discounted or covered by your school district.

 

Dual Enrollment

Dual Enrollment courses are taken at Kishwaukee College or online and taught by Kish faculty.

• You earn college credit, and some courses may also count for high school credit (your school decides).
• You’ll follow the college-level schedule and expectations.
• Students pay full tuition and fees for Dual Enrollment classes.

 

In short:

Dual Credit = College courses at your high school, taught by your HS teacher.

Dual Enrollment = College courses at Kish, taught by Kish faculty.

Yes. Dual Credit courses satisfy high school requirements and earn college credit that appears on an official Kishwaukee College transcript.

In most cases, yes. Many courses transfer to Illinois colleges and to universities nationwide. Students should check transfer policies or talk with an advisor for confirmation.

Kishwaukee College charges each student $50 for a dual credit course taught by a high school instructor. Some high schools cover the cost for students. This fee is waived for individuals who qualify for free/reduced lunch. Some courses require the purchase of books or other supplies in addition to the course fee.

Dual Credit grades become part of your permanent Kishwaukee College transcript. These grades may also impact transfer or future financial aid, so completing coursework is important.

Students must follow Kish’s drop deadlines and procedures. Dropping could affect high school graduation requirements, so always speak with your counselor before making changes.

Dual Credit students can use Kish tutoring, library services, advising, and other student support resources—just like any other Kish student.

Each high school offers different Dual Credit courses. You can check the list in the “Courses Offered at Your High School” section on this page.
