Dual Credit

North Central Texas College/Nocona High School Partnership

Dual Credit courses are college courses provided by institutions of higher education (IHE). These colleges are typically local junior colleges that school districts partner with, but can also be four-year universities or online programs. NISD has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with North Central Texas College to provide dual credit options to our students.

College courses that also satisfy high school credit requirements are listed on the Course Crosswalk that is updated annually. Courses taken at the college that are not listed on the crosswalk, may not result in high school credit.
