[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the thing you have to be careful with is using the DE class for high school credit.  Then it may not transfer.  That’s the catch.

Your student may not NEED the high school credit because they’ve taken high school classes in middle school so the DE can transfer.

Just read all the details before making decisions.  [/quote]

That’s not an accurate statement at all. It’s called DUAL CREDIT because it counts toward both at the same time (assuming the college has it in their approved  credit list). [/quote]

Ok … my bad.  I think maybe there is a distinction in counting toward GPA? I remember some sort of difference that mattered to us when DD did this.  Not trying to post misinformation.  I do remember a lot of details to understand before signing up but the advisors were extremely helpful.[/quote]

Same PP here … we had DD take the DE course but not apply toward HS credit.  This was because she wanted to go OOS and they were more likely to take a transfer course that was not used for HS credit.  And they did take the 3 credits thankfully.  So it all worked out for her. She had some extra room because of taking HS math and foreign language in middle school. [/quote]
