Mastering the Dual Credit Balancing Act

Taking Dual Credit courses means navigating two different schedules—high school and college. It’s a juggling act, but with the right mindset, you can stay on top of both worlds like a pro!

Balancing Two Schedules

Alternating Attendance: If your college class meets only two or three times a week, you’re expected to be at your high school on the days your college class doesn’t meet. Think of it like switching gears between two lanes—you need to stay in sync with both.

Campus Closures: Who’s Open & Who’s Closed?

College Campus Closed? Your college class is canceled for the day, but if your high school is still open, you must attend your high school classes.

High School Closed? If your college is still in session, you must attend your college classes, even if your high school is on break. Example: If your high school is on spring break but your college isn’t, you still need to show up for your college courses.

Staying on Track

Managing two schedules requires organization, responsibility, and flexibility. Keep a planner or set digital reminders so you never miss a class—whether it’s at your high school or on campus.

Pro Tip: Treat your college class like a real college student would—because you are one! Stay committed, stay focused, and soon, you’ll be a Dual Credit master!
