Dual Credit

South Plains College articulates Career and Technical Education (CTE) coursework with high schools. Students enrolled in specific CTE programs of study offered through affiliated high schools may receive semester hour credit for courses identified in articulation agreements and course crosswalk.

Conditions for awarding credit are as follows:

• No tuition, fees or qualification exam will be required for the credit hour courses identified in the articulation agreement.
• College credit will be awarded without grade point consideration for semester hours. Students must earn a grade of “B” or higher in their high school class in order to earn college credit.
• College semester hour credit for CTE-articulated classes will be awarded upon enrollment at the college. Hours will automatically be added to the transcript.
• Credit will be transcribed if a student enrolls at SPC within 15 months of high school graduation. Beyond 15 months, program faculty can recommend CTE-articulated credit be accepted based on approval of appropriate departmental chair and Instructional Division Dean.

Earned credit will apply toward the Associate of Applied Arts degree, Associate of Applied Science degrees and the Certificate of Proficiency.

CTE articulated credit will not automatically transfer to universities. Credit may be transferred under articulation agreements between SPC  and partnering universities based on program by program basis. Students should consult program advisor for additional information.
