Dual Credit Transcripts
If you’ve taken dual credit while in high school, you may need to request to have your official college transcript sent to the college you plan on attending in the fall after graduation. Please place your request after all dual credit courses are completed to avoid having to request it more than once. We recommend making your request in late-May or early-June to ensure courses are completed and the college receives them in ample time.

Does it transfer?

Advisory Tracks
The Board of Regents institutions have worked together to create advising materials for high school dual credit students. Nearly all courses offered through the HSDC program meet the general education requirements at all BOR institutions. A series of Advisory Tracks were created, which group together majors that share similar program requirements and may have preferred courses that should be taken to fulfill general education requirements. Often, students have taken too many of a single type of dual credit course, which means they may take credits that will only count as electives, when they could be taking courses that will go towards meeting the general education requirements. These materials hope to steer students towards a well-rounded slate of courses that will meet the BOR general education requirements and put students in a better position upon enrolling as degree-seeking students at BOR institutions after graduating from high school.
Below are the handouts for each Advisory Track. The six Advisory Track are:
