Dual Credit Courses
Dual credit courses provide students the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit while taking the course. Courses are aligned with college curriculum but are taught by D155 instructors in our high schools. Credits earned are typically transferrable to any college, not just the awarding university. Currently, we have dual credit partnerships with both McHenry County College and the University of Illinois. As all dual credit courses are aligned to college curriculum, they will earn honors level weighting.
The grading scale at MCC is different than CHSD 155. MCC does not award letter grades with pluses or minuses which is different than the grading system in CHSD 155. For instance, a B+ earned in CHSD 155 is a B at MCC. As a result, it is possible that the grades reported on the MCC and CHSD 155 report cards and transcripts vary.
