High school students in good standing and on track to graduate are allowed to take online college courses. Certain college courses may qualify as Dual Credit courses; courses in which the student receives credit for both college and high school credit upon completion. If a college course is taken as dual credit the course will count towards Class Rank, GPA, and Honor Roll. Students will be allowed one class period to work on their college course. If a student chooses to take two college courses, they will need to take at least one as a dual credit in order to have two periods designated for college course work. Most go through MidPlains Community College. Below you will find MPCC's guidelines for their English and Math courses.
