Dual Credit Opportunities

Dual credit is an opportunity for high school students who meet admissions standards to enroll in public postsecondary institutions in South Dakota and simultaneously earn credits for both their high school diploma and postsecondary degree or certificate.
 
Through a program approved by the South Dakota Legislature, dual credit coursework is available to high school students in grades 11-12 at the rate of $48.33 per credit. Students are responsible for the $48.33 per-credit cost and any required textbooks or related course materials.
 
Students can choose from several on-campus and online classes, including general education and career and technical education courses.

Registration

Students will need to complete both the Sioux Fall School District Paperwork and the online registration through the Institution they select.
