Dual Credit Program

Dual Credit Program is a structured program between secondary schools and Elgin Community College. Meet the requirements to take college courses at ECC, earning college credit while fulfilling high school graduation requirements.

• Save time and money by starting your college classes early.
• Earn real college credit through successful course completion.
• Credit is not based on post-course testing like AP courses.
• Learn important study habits and experience the demands of college courses while in high school.
• Discuss full-time, part-time, ECC campus, and in-high school options with your counselor.

Each participating high school determines arrangements and offerings. Is your high school a dual credit partner institution?
