Dual Credit courses allow high school students to enroll in college-level coursework and secure credit at both the high school and college level simultaneously. Courses are taught by high school instructors who are approved by the college. Curriculum, syllabi, and textbooks also meet college guidelines.

For College of DuPage (COD) dual credit, tuition and fees are waived, and a COD transcript is generated. COD grants all college credits, therefore, students should contact COD for final dual credit transcripts after course completion. All COD dual credit opportunities are pending formal agreement between IPSD and COD. These agreements are reviewed on regular basis and subject to change based on qualifications. To qualify students must complete appropriate applications, and placement testing as required. Freshmen are not eligible for dual credit. Any summer dual credit courses offered by COD and other institutions must be approved by the Director of Guidance if the course could potentially replace a required course for graduation. These courses will typically be used on the high school transcript as elective courses, not in place of our course graduation requirements.
