Iḷisaġvik College’s Dual Credit Program is intended for high school juniors and seniors. Exceptions for younger students are only made with the full support of both school district officials and Iḷisaġvik College’s Dual Credit Coordinator and Advisor.
Dual Credit students may register for any academic, vocational, or technical course offered for credit during the current Iḷisaġvik College schedule provided the students meet all eligibility and prerequisite requirements. However, the awarding of high school credit is contingent upon acceptance of college credits by the local school district. Students should consult with their high school counselors prior to entering the Dual Credit Program to ensure that they are on-track for high school graduation and that registering for dual credit courses will support that goal.
To be eligible, high school students must be juniors or seniors and have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0. They must have written approval from the student’s parent or guardian and the designated school district or tribal organization official. Seniors may enroll for up to six credit hours per semester. Juniors may enroll for up to four credit hours per semester. Students must meet all prerequisites for the courses for which they wish to register, unless waived by the Dual Credit Coordinator/Advisor upon the recommendation of the school district or tribal organization. At the discretion of the high school official and Dual Credit Coordinator/Advisor, students may be allowed to enroll in courses below the 100 level.
