Dual Credit
Students earn college and high school credit for specific classes taken at Proviso, for which the school has an approved Dual Credit agreement, including Triton College. These classes double as high school courses and college courses and are taught by teachers who are qualified to teach both. The Dual Credit program is open to students who are currently enrolled in or are interested in taking AP (Advanced Placement) courses. Students receive high school and college credit for the class. Courses with a dual credit option are denoted with “DC” or Dual Credit next to their titles in this catalog. Students should contact their counselor for information regarding eligibility and registration. Dual Credit Forms can be found here for Triton College: https://www.triton.edu/academics/dual‐credit/
