Dual Credit

What is dual credit at SOHS?

  • An opportunity open to eligible students who hope to earn college credit hours during their high school schedule by taking specifically offered courses through JCTC, MSU, or EKU. These classes are taught by SOHS teachers.
  • These college credits will be awarded upon successful completion of courses and reflected on JCTC, MSU, or EKU transcripts. The SOHS high school transcripts will reflect the dual credit weighted course completed as well. 

How is dual credit different from advanced placement?

  • Dual Credit classes allow high school students to begin undergraduate college classes for credit. As long as the student passes the class, they receive credit for that class. These classes are offered through specific colleges, such as MSU, EKU, or JCTC.
  • AP (Advanced Placement) classes are high school courses with college-level curriculum and exams created by the College Board. While these classes will count for high school credit, they will not always count for college credit. Typically, students must pass the AP test with a score of 3, 4, or 5 to earn college credit, but that varies from college to college. 

Why participate?

  • You can earn college credits. 
  • You get reduced tuition rates from JCTC/MSU/EKU  and/or you can use your KHEAA dual credit scholarships.
  • You learn the blackboard system (submit assignments, communicate with professors, monitor grades) that you will use on a college campus.
  • You gain exposure to college level courses while still in high school and have the support of your SOHS community and parents/guardians.

JCTC Dual Credit Courses

Students scheduled in dual credit courses through JCTC must complete an application through the DualEnroll platform, which is a multi-step process, in order to be enrolled and registered in courses. 

Note: Students must complete the application, not parents/guardians, because they are the ones enrolling in the course(s). 

Here is an overview of the 6 steps, as well as some helpful information to complete the process:

  1. Go to https://jefferson.kctcs.dualenroll.com/login
  2. Click "create my dualenroll account"
  3. Complete the New Student Registration form to create your account. Provide all information including a login name and password. All fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are required. You must provide either an email account or cell phone number to create the account.
    1. Use a personal email that you can easily access
  4. Once you click REGISTER, you’ll receive either a text message with an activation code or an email with a link to confirm your account. You must confirm your account before you can proceed with the registration. If using email, be sure to check your junk and spam folders for the email.
  5. KCTCS has six application steps. Completed steps are listed in green under Application Steps, and the current step is shown in orange. Complete all required fields which are marked with an asterisk and click the update button after completing a step.
    1. A few things to note...
      1. You must add your SSN
      2. Primary campus is Carrollton
      3. HS graduation month is always May of the year you will graduate 
      4. Counselor is Alexandria Engle (not your last name assigned counselor but rather your dual credit counselor)
  6. Once you have completed all 6 steps and your screen moves to a course registration tab, you have completed the application process and are ready to register for courses. 
    1. This part can be confusing, and often there are more than one section for each course, so it is preferred that you stop here and wait for Ms. Engle to help complete the step of actually adding your course(s).
