Home School Dual Credit Students

If you are a Home School Student, you will need to meet with a P-16 Success Coach and complete the “Dual Credit Waiver Approval Form.” This form verifies parental approval to take college classes and receive a tuition waiver. Submit your completed form to your College P-16 office with your transcript.

You will need to demonstrate college readiness standards by achieving passing scores under the provision of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) or demonstrate exemption from testing under the provisions of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI). (See “College Readiness Requirements” for details.)

Take the TSI Test (if required)

• Complete “Pre-Assessment Activity” at www.hccs.edu/tsi.
• HCC Testing Centers require a printout of “Completion Verification,” proving that you have completed the activity.
• HCC Testing Centers require a photo ID to test.

Enroll in your Dual Credit Class by Designated Deadline.

Log in to the Student Center with the HCC ID that was included in the welcome email upon completing your application and start adding classes to your schedule.

The HCC Board of Trustees has waived tuition and fees for dual credit students. Students living within taxing districts (In-District) may take dual credit classes at no charge. Students living outside of the taxing district (Out-of-District) do not pay tuition, but they do pay tuition out-of-district fees.
