ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Dual-Credit Statement


ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï believes that dual credit is a useful and viable opportunity for qualified high school students to start their college careers. Dual-credit courses are college-level courses. Students enrolled in these courses earning simultaneous high school and college credit will be expected to meet ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï standards. To ensure college-level rigor, the following key points will be observed:

  • Courses will be taught by ºÚÁϳԹÏ; faculty members will be full-time or part-time employees of ºÚÁϳԹÏ.
  • Concurrent Enrollment courses are taught by qualified high school teachers approved by ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï academic departments.
  • Courses will follow the official ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï academic calendar for start/end dates and holi­days for the session in which they are offered.
  • Courses will use the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï course curriculum, syllabi, and grading system.
  • Courses will use the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï approved course text(s).
  • Dual-credit students will be assessed using the same student learning outcomes and assessment measures as all other ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï students.
  • Dual-credit student absences for non-ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï events are not excused absences except by prior permission of the individual class instructor.
  • Tuition and fees will be established by ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï as a member of the Nevada System of Higher Education and processed through ºÚÁϳԹÏ’s controller’s office. All fees are due before classes begin.

Dual-credit students are college students, and for the purposes of the dual-credit class(es), there will be a strict adherence to Right-to-Know policies and procedures of the Family Educational Right to Privacy Act (FERPA) as defined by regulations binding ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï and all its students. As such, parents will not have access to student grades, financial records, etc. Information regarding student performance is not available through participating school district websites such as Infinite Campus.

Dual-credit students (students enrolled concurrently in high school and ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï college courses) should note that IEPs and 504 accommodations are not transferred directly from the high school to the college classroom. High school students are advised to submit a current IEP and documentation or report from the school psychologist to the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Disability Resource Center along with a request/ intake for accommodations form. All documentation submitted by dual-credit students will be evaluated based on the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï reasonable accommodation policy. Please call the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Disability Resource Center at 775.327.2336 or go to www.gbcnv.edu/disabilities for detailed information concerning the process for requesting reasonable accommodation in ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï courses.
