Understanding Transcripted Credit
Transcripted Credit is a form of dual credit that empowers high school students to earn both high school and college credit by taking an approved college-level course at the high school, taught by a qualified high school teacher. This invaluable program allows students to get a head start on their college education while reducing the financial burden that often comes with it. By participating in these courses, our students are not only excelling academically but also making substantial strides in their personal and financial growth.
