CCU Dual Credit FAQ
What is a dual credit course?
Through CCU partnership, approved HPCS faculty teach dual credit courses, allowing students to earn both honors high school and transferable college credit through college-level coursework.
Is CCU accredited?
Yes, CCU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, so all courses offered are also regionally accredited. Learn more about CCU accreditations here.
What HPCS courses are available as dual credit through CCU?
Mrs. Beth Sevilla sends out a list of available courses each Fall with registration and cost details. Several junior and senior year courses are approved for dual credit.
Will Credits Transfer?
CCU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, so credits transfer to colleges/universities nationwide. Students are encouraged to contact institutions of interest in order to determine how credits will transfer, as institutions, including CCU, vary on how they accept dual credits. CCU does not offer refunds for credits that do not transfer to institutions.
Will students who complete courses still be freshmen in college?
Most colleges/universities consider students entering college from high school as freshman, regardless of credit hours earned by dual credit. Policy is set by individual colleges or universities.
When can I register?
CCU sets registration dates each year for the Fall and Spring semester for yearlong courses. This information is communicated to HPCS families each year in the Fall.
