OTHER CREDIT COURSEWORK
A student may earn credits toward high school graduation from any approved and accredited junior college, an approved
correspondence program, the Illinois Virtual High School, Apex Learning, and/or accredited high school programs. Prior to enrolling,
students must have administration/counselor approval. Approval may not be given for a class already offered by PTHS that can be
placed in the student’s schedule. Graduation credit will be awarded upon successful completion of these courses; however, no GPA
credit will be calculated for courses taken for credit recovery. Students taking a course through an approved junior college must
successfully complete at least a two (2) semester hour course to receive a half (1/2) credit towards fulfilling their high school graduation
requirements. Payment of any tuition/cost for this coursework is the responsibility of the student. This policy may be modified on an
individual basis for any student with administrative approval.
DUAL CREDIT COURSES
Pontiac Township High School is proud to offer dual credit courses with both Heartland Community College and Parkland College. If
students are interested in participating in the dual credit courses need to prepare for this experience almost a year in advance.
Students are required to meet placement test scores and prerequisites. Students can obtain appropriate score placement based on
official ACT, SAT, or ACCUPLACER scores. If students need to take or retake placement tests, this process needs to be completed
before set deadlines.
Students are required to purchase their own textbooks for dual credit courses and cover any additional course/lab fees that may be
associated with individual courses. At this time, there are no tuition fees for dual credit courses.
Dual credit is a wonderful opportunity for students. Dual credit students are beginning their official college transcript. Grades earned in
Dual Credit classes will be part of the students’ record throughout his/her college career. There may be financial aid and/or academic
implications that students need to research before enrolling in dual credit courses. Not all colleges award college credit for all dual
credit courses. It is the students’/parents’ responsibility to research this information with various colleges through the admissions
departments.
