What is Dual Enrollment or Dual Credit?
Dual Enrollment/Credit means that you receive credit for a course on both a high school transcript and a college transcript.

Simply put, dual enrollment refers to students taking courses concurrently at two separate institutions, while dual credit refers to students completing a single course to earn academic credits that are recognized by two or more institutions. edglossary.org With Dual Enrollment, students are issued 2 separate grades: A high school grade by the Lubbock-Cooper teacher and a college grade by the college instructor. Dual Credit courses have the same teacher of record for both high school and college courses.
