Students participate their junior year at our campus. Two professors come in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to teach their college courses. As a senior the students will travel to the San Jac North campus where they will take two classes each semester. Then return to NSSH for the rest of their day. Fridays- San Jac doesn't typically have class on Friday's. Our Juniors are in their classroom with the academic advisor doing grade checks, any missing or incomplete dual credit assignments or learning about the college admissions process and universities. Seniors are able to freely study at their own accord. They must come on three Fridays through out the semester to do three grade checks during their scheduled class time.

Frequently asked Questions about dual credit
FAQs:
Will these credits transfer to a university? Yes! We have an academic advisor that is well versed in higher education transfer options. Also if you would like to research you can use the Texas Common Course Numbering System . Mrs. Hardin or Ms. Serrano would be more than happy to assist or answer any questions.
I can't see my child's grades on Skyward, how can I check their progress in class? San Jacinto Community College like every university or college operates off a different system than skyward. It is called blackboard. You can have your child log in to their account, where they can show you their grades and assignments due. Should your child say they are locked out or don't know their password, just have your student call the IT department at San Jac north and they resolve any issue they are having.
Do I need to study for the TSIA? No. It is not necessary to study for the TSIA. This is simply a placement test to see if you are college ready. If you don't test in to college ready levels, we can also use your EOC STAAR test score to exempt you. We do have study guides available in the College and Career Center if you would like one.
Why is my student taking Music and History, are these even needed? Yes, in their junior year in the academic dual credit program will be enrolled in Music 1310 and History 1301. These courses serve as electives on the high school side but provide a great opportunity to earn more GPA points than you average elective classes. They will also need these courses to complete their degree (bachelors and associates) in the state of Texas and often many other states.
I paid for a different course than my student was enrolled in, why? When we enroll your child in dual credit we try to make sure that they are able to get the most credits for courses they need for high school and college. The most common courses are English, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Government, Sociology and Music. The course selection is sometimes limited by the times offered, so it depends on what will fit in your child's schedule.
