Dual Credit students complete the same Collin College application as traditional Collin College students through ApplyTexas.org. There will be questions on the application regarding dual credit. Be sure to answer these questions accurately. We have created the below guide to assist you with applying as a dual credit student.
Students can reference the below guide to clear their registration holds. Please note, for dual credit students not all holds will be cleared from your account. You will see the "HS/Dual Enroll Permission Form, See P-12 Staff to add/drop" until spring of your senior year. You may also see the "Immunization Proof Required" hold on your account if you are taking classes only at your high school campus or online; you will only need to turn in the record/state waiver if you are coming to a Collin College Campus.
The Dual Credit/P-12 Partnerships Office completes registration for dual/concurrent students that attend partnering high schools. Homeschool and Special Admits students will register themselves through CougarWeb. Please visit the designated page for your high school for information on your process.
To enroll in classes at Collin while in high school, your high school counselor or homeschool administrator must provide approval via the permission form. To complete a copy of this form, please check with your high school counselor or find your high school to make sure you are completing the correct version.
Dual Credit program costs are based on student residency and number of enrolled credit hours each semester. Students can complete payment via CougarWeb, the Cashier's office, or by enrolling in a payment plan. Please refer to the links below for current tuition rates and payment methods.

Dual Credit students do not need to provide proof of their meningitis vaccine if they are only taking courses online or on their high school campus. If you are taking courses on a Collin Campus, you must upload a current vaccine record or exemption through Med+Proctor. Med+Proctor requires you to use your Collin email to create your account, so please be sure you have access to that email prior to creating a Med+Proctor account.
