Dual Credit Home School Enrollment Process:

1. Complete ApplyTexas application online.
2. Submit official high school transcript, notarized, with an expected graduation date.
3. If applicable - submit official test scores (ACT, SAT, TSI).
4. Complete AlamoENROLL Modules via ACES.
5. Testing Information (Optional but Encouraged)
   Alamo Colleges cannot impose assessment requirements for enrollment into dual credit courses for the first 15 credit hours.
   • After you complete 15 credit hours, you must take the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) exam if you don’t have prior coursework to show college readiness. However, we encourage all students to take the TSI early. Doing so can help determine your readiness for college-level work and may help with future course placement.
   • You can take the TSI after your application is processed, and you receive your Banner ID and username (usually within 5 business days).
   • Important: Some dual credit courses have college course prerequisites you must meet before enrolling.
   • Examples:
   • You must complete ENGL 1301 before taking ENGL 1302.
   • You must complete MATH 1314 or MATH 1414 before taking MATH 2414 (Precalculus).
   • For any questions or additional support, please reach out to the High School Programs team.

Review the Dual Credit Home School Checklist for full enrollment details and resources to guide you through the process.

Once the above steps are complete, an onboarding session for new dual credit participants is required. Onboarding sessions are typically available during the registration period. Check with the High School Programs Office for available dates.

Enrollment documents and placement testing must be submitted by the deadline noted on the Admissions and Enrollment Calendar to ensure timely registration.  Student registration is processed by College Personnel.

Early College High Schools (ECHS) are located within a traditional high school or on college campus or in close proximity to a college campus.  This educational model allows students to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an associate degree or a substantial number of transferrable college credits toward a bachelor’s degree.
