Academic Programs

Dual credit classes are taught by college faculty. They are level 4 classes: 70-80% of your grade will come from major grades; there are no retest opportunities; there is no optional extra credit. Students who do well in DC classes are punctual with their work, study independently, and attend tutorials when needed.

ANTICIPATED Dual Credit Courses Offered 2021-2022:

See chart above - "What classes are available at NBHS?"

• If you attend one of the Alamo Community Colleges, your dual credit courses will be applied to your degree plan there since San Antonio College is part of that college district.
• If you attend college outside of Texas, your dual credit courses may or may not apply. You would need to reach out to the college you are interested in attending to check.  In many cases, community college credits do not apply outside of Texas.
• If you plan to attend college in Texas, you can check how your dual credit courses may apply to another college using the TCCNS website. Even if there is a course equivalent, we cannot guarantee that the college will accept the equivalent course. It is still the final decision of the admissions department on how credits will be transcribed once you are accepted. In some cases, they may accept them as 'elective' credits instead.
• The Texas Common Core Numbering System (TCCNS) provides a shared, uniform set of course numbers to use in determining course equivalency between 135 Texas colleges and universities. You can use it to compare NBHS dual credit courses to another college or university. Click on "Compare Schools" to begin this process. For the first school, select San Antonio College. For the second school, select the college or university you plan to attend. This will generate a chart showing you the course equivalency. Pay careful attention to the last two columns. Find the dual credit course you took or are interested in taking under the San Antonio College column. If a course is listed in the same row under your future college's column, this is the equivalent course there. If the cell is blank, there may not be an equivalent course. You would need to reach out to admissions to determine if they will be able to use the credit at that time.

You can order your SAC transcript in the summer AFTER graduation. See instructions below.
