MHS Dual Credit Courses

DUAL CREDIT ENROLLMENT FOR
COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT

Students in the 11th or 12th grades may wish to take courses on the college level at Trinity Valley Community
College or Navarro College that would also receive high school credit. Each student must have permission one
week prior to TVCC registration deadlines from his/her high school counselor before enrolling in a course for dual
credit. Courses are offered each fall, spring, and summer I and summer II semesters. In most cases, these hours
are transferable to other colleges; however, you should check with the college of your choice for its policy.
Students must pay for books and fees that are required each semester for dual credit course(s). Students
must also meet and comply with the colleges' rules, regulations and requirements. High school students must
either be exempt from the THEA or take the THEA prior to enrollment in a Texas public college or university.
Mabank High School will accept the following college courses for dual credit toward high school graduation requirement (NOTE: courses available and prerequisites may vary by semester).

Other courses can be approved through the counseling center.
*Students must also complete a Personal Financial Literacy
information session with the high school Economics teacher.
