1.  Dual credit is an opportunity for high school students who meet admissions standards to enroll in postsecondary institutions in South Dakota and simultaneously earn credits for both their high school diploma and postsecondary degree or certificate.  Students can earn dual credit by directly enrolling into a postsecondary institution’s coursework. These courses are offered by the postsecondary institution’s faculty members, are governed by the postsecondary institution’s policies, and follow the postsecondary institution’s established processes for admissions, registration, billing and grade reporting.  Through this new program approved by the South Dakota Legislature, dual credit coursework is available to high school students in grades 11-12 at the rate of $40 per credit. Students are responsible for the $40-per-credit cost and any required textbooks or related course materials.  Students are able to choose from a number of on-campus and online classes, including general education and career and technical education courses.
