Things to Consider

College Transcript

College transcripts are permanent and grades cannot be erased. Grades earned in a dual credit program will count toward a student’s college Grade Point Average (GPA) and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for enrollment and financial aid purposes. Additionally, you will need to provide proof of college education attainment at most other higher education institutions and some employment opportunities.

Financial Aid Impact

Any attempted credits, including credit attempted by high school students through a dual credit program (CTE Dual Credit, College in the High School, Running Start), on a college transcript could impact your financial aid eligibility. It may affect the length of time a student can receive state and federal financial aid. Grades earned in a dual credit program will count toward a student’s college Grade Point Average (GPA) and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for enrollment and financial aid purposes.

FERPA

Dual credit students enrolled in dual credit programs (CTE Dual Credit, College in the High School, Running Start) are considered regular college students and are protected by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). It is a federal law that protects student information and puts the ownership of a student’s higher education academic records and account information on the student regardless of age. Parents and family members do not have access to students’ grades, class schedules, and other protected information. A student may choose to release or not release information to individuals via a form.
