AACC Dual Credit
If a student wishes to earn Dual Credit (receive both high school and college credit), students must consult with their school counselor about their options. Dual credit can only be granted if prior approval is given by the principal. Students must submit an official AACC transcript to their school counselor at the completion of the course. Failure to submit an official AACC transcript to the school counselor upon course completion could impact your graduation status.
