Marshall County High School Students and Families,

Welcome to our Registration Course Guide. We are excited to share with you the many opportunities that are available at MCHS. The Registration Course Guide provides information necessary for course registration and pathways. Accurate registration is essential for students to be placed in appropriate courses. The individual need of each student varies; therefore, it may be necessary to supplement this information by talking with teachers, administrators, or counselors. Our diverse curriculum allows students the opportunity to obtain core content for graduation requirements and elective options for students to learn about career interests and build a skill set needed for the future.

If you have questions concerning course registration or pathways, please feel free to contact your school counselor: Click on counselor’s name for blog with additional information and resources, send an email, or call 270-527-1453

PREREQUISITE - When reviewing the course offerings, please note any prerequisites that exist in course offerings. Pathway courses may require an introductory course before moving to the next course, while other courses require an application, teacher approval, or special permission. If pre-requisites have not been met, a student will not be scheduled into a course.

COURSE FEES - Some courses require a course fee. Refer to the course descriptions to see if a fee applies. Students who register for these classes will be required to pay the course fee at the beginning of the course.

REPEATING A PASSED REQUIRED CLASS - Class space must be available after all other requests have been met before a student having already earned a “D” or above in a core course will be allowed to repeat that course. If a course is repeated, both grades earned will be placed on the student’s transcript and included in calculating the GPA. If two credits are earned in the same required course after the student has repeated the course, then one of the grades will be counted as a general elective.

INDEPENDENT STUDY - Seniors wishing to deepen their knowledge in a particular subject area may request to participate in an independent study. Seniors interested in this option must consult with a sponsoring teacher to discuss possible programming. Once approved by the teacher, the sponsoring teacher will submit a proposal to the principal. All requests are subject to principal approval and must be submitted in writing by registration deadline.

EARLY GRADUATION PROGRAM - Early Graduation is a deliberate pathway for students in grades 9-11 who wish to receive an early diploma from the district and be eligible for acceptance into Kentucky public universities and non-profit independent colleges and universities. The pathway provides a financial scholarship, known as the Early Graduation Certificate, to support this action. Students participating in the pathway must meet the requirements set forth by 704 KAR 3:305. For more information, visit https://education.ky.gov/educational/AL/earlygrad/Pages/default.aspx. Contact Mrs. Jennifer Jackson, jennifer.jackson@marshall.kyschools.us for additional information.

WKCTC and MSU have specific dates listed on their website related to enrollment and withdrawal. The college deadlines must be followed by the Dual Credit student. Enrollment may be in up to two college classes per semester. Online or off-campus dual credit courses cannot follow or precede work-based learning.

If a high school student decides to enroll in a college course as dual credit through Marshall County High School, they must follow the guidelines set for dual credit, to help the student be successful, earn college credit, and choose courses that will help in their future college pathway.

Enrollment in Dual Credit courses through Marshall County High School will require:

High School Cumulative GPA 3.0

ACT Benchmark Scores for Dual Credit Enrollment for Liberal Arts courses (ENG, COM, CIV, ART, POL, PSY, etc.)

ACT English 16 & ACT Reading 18

ACT Benchmark Scores for Dual Credit Enrollment for Math and Science courses

ACT Math 21 for MAT 140 College Algebra
ACT Math 27 for MAT 175 College Calculus
ACT Math 19 for BIO 100/101

Successful completion of a dual credit course is needed to enroll in additional dual credit courses. If a student wants to withdraw from a college course, the parent, school counselor, and principal must approve withdrawal of a college course and the student must submit documents to the college, prior to the college deadline. The student and parent will be responsible for the balance at the college for tuition, textbook, etc..Withdrawing from a college course means the student did not earn a college or high school credit. As a result, High school transcript will reflect a W with a 0.0 GPA grade weight.

At any point in the semester, if a grade of D or F is reported, the student will no longer have the privilege of being off-campus for any Dual Credit course. Students will remain in the library for the remainder of the semester, during their Dual Credit time.

Students must complete the online college application, obtain a college identification number, and any additional college forms required.

Create a contact in your phone for the specific college and add your ID number and Username to the notes section of contacts. (Instead of searching notes or pictures, you click on your contacts and search the college and you have your information saved.)
College ID and college username will be used to create your college account and to request transcripts in the future.

Students must read and abide by the college course syllabus. The syllabus will contain professor’s name, contact information, deadlines, grade calculation information, etc.

Contact your professor, FIRST, if you have questions or concerns regarding your college class.
Meeting college deadlines is imperative to achieve success in a college course.

College and high school schedules may not align, it is probable that you may have assignments due, or class attendance required when high school is not in session.
The college course grade will be recorded on the student’s high school AND college transcript. High school and college grades are used to calculate cumulative GPA, which are reflected in earning and eligibility of the student’s KEES money.
Students must check and respond to their Marshall County and College email accounts. High school and college information will be shared to the student’s Marshall County email address and the parent’s email address listed in Infinite Campus.
Dual credit tuition rate is set by state legislation in the month of June. 2023-24 tuition rate was $93 per credit hour, most college courses are three credit hours & would cost approximately $300.Dual credit tuition rate is discounted, if students take more than two courses per year and want to self-pay.
Dual credit courses are NOT free.
KHEAA Dual Credit Scholarship will pay tuition for two courses per year. Students MUST apply for the KHEAA Dual Credit Scholarship in their KHEAA account. Textbooks, course materials, state exams, and online resources are NOT paid for by the scholarship.More information at the student’s MyKHEAA account – www.kheaa.com
Taking college credit in high school will affect your high school and college GPA, plus financial aid eligibility based on the following federally mandated standards; pass 67% of credit hours attempted and maintain a 2.0 GPA or higher; 3.0 GPA is required for full KEES award, after high school graduation.
