Dual-credit enrollment lets high school students take college courses on their high school’s campus, through an in-person or hybrid format on the UT Tyler campus, or through UT Tyler Online. A credentialed instructor or UT faculty member teaches the class. At the end of the session, students receive credit that can go toward their high school graduation requirements and a college degree.
