The following courses are taught at Capital High School and are offered for dual credit through our partner institutions. Students are required to fill out a separate application and course registration for the college credit portion of the class. Counselors will present registration information at the start of each semester, and it is the student’s responsibility to meet all of the college’s deadlines and test score requirements, as well as to pay fees if required.

 

** Dual credit course offerings are dependent on staff with dual certifications.  Classes offered for dual credit could change if staffing changes occur and no dual certified teachers are available.

 All dual credit courses count as both high school and college credit. The courses are taught on the campus of Capital High School. Students are responsible for college registration, cost of tuition, and fees.  Students must be at least 16 years of age or enrolled in grade 11 and meet course qualifications.

All Math courses require an additional placement form. Students are recommended to have a B or better in the pre-requisite math course when taking for college credit. ACT Math scores can also be used to prove proficiency for placement in a dual credit math course.

When you request a dual credit course, an application will be emailed to you to complete to be eligible for college credit.

Students who drop a dual credit course once the semester has started are required to drop at both CHS and the corresponding college. Failure to drop at the college will cause the student to be responsible for paying the course fees, and the failure will be reflected on the Helena College transcript.
