Dual Enrollment students need to:

- make above average grades
- possess good study habits
- understand that the amount of work necessary to succeed in college courses will be greater than that of high school courses

Dual Degree Opportunity
To help students reach their educational goals in a timely manner, local ISD's and Alvin Community College offers qualified students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and an Associates of Arts Degree in General Studies at the same time. The Dual Degree program is a rigorous program that will require extra time and dedication. Interested students should contact their high school counselor or ACC Advisor for more information and to develop a degree plan.
