Definitions per OSPI: Dual Credit Courses and Passage of Dual Credit Courses

To be considered “dual credit” and meet the graduation alternatives requirement, a course must satisfy the following three criteria:

1. It generates high school credit toward graduation.
2. It is articulated with, or could directly result in, college credit (100 level or above) from a regionally accredited institution of higher learning.
3. According to the respective regionally accredited institution of higher education, it is classified as an “English” or “Mathematics” course (i.e. ENGL 101, MATH 107), or it fulfills an English/Communications or Mathematics/Quantitative requirement as verified in the student’s post-secondary degree plan.

“Passage” of a dual credit course requires that the student earn high school credit for the course, as identified on the student’s high school transcript. Students may be required to achieve a certain letter grade or GPA to earn or have the option to earn college credit, as determined by the regionally accredited institution of higher education.
