Dual Credit
Two of the most valuable post-secondary options VISD offers are Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Credit courses. These programs give students a head start on their college education while still earning high school credit.
Both AP and Dual Credit offer valuable experiences, but there are important differences to consider. Dual Credit hours transfer automatically within Texas public institutions. Both AP and Dual Credit courses offer weighted GPA benefits based on VISD policy, as they reflect the rigor of college-level curriculum.
