Student/Parent Handbook

• Certain courses taught at the high school campus, which may include courses
termed Dual Credit or Advanced Placement (AP) ;
• Enrollment in an AP or Dual Credit course through the Texas Virtual School
Network;
• Enrollment in courses taught in conjunction and in partnership with Texas A & M
University—Corpus Christi or Del Mar College, or other approved institutions;
• Certain Career and Technical Education courses.
All of these methods have eligibility requirements and must be approved prior to
enrollment in the course. Please see the counselor for more information.
Though Texas has a statewide articulation agreement, it is important to keep in mind
that all colleges and universities determine how and under what conditions they confer
credit for articulated courses. Each college determines how they award credit for
Advanced Placement courses/scores and Dual Credit. Furthermore, schools outside of
the state of Texas are not required to abide by the Texas statewide articulation
agreement. Students and parents should check with the prospective college or
university to determine if and how a particular course will count toward the student’s
desired degree plan/major.
Courses will be offered with sufficient enrollment and finalization of contracts with Del
Mar College, TAMUCC or the approved institution. For a list of Dual Credit courses, see
the counselor or the Flour Bluff High School Graduation and Career Planning
Guide. The student is responsible for meeting the entrance criteria set by the college
and completing the course with a passing grade. Upon completion of the course, the
student is responsible for requesting an official transcript from the college and
submitting it to the Flour Bluff High School Registrar‘s Office in order to receive credit.
The grade will be computed in the GPA. Official Dual Credit grades are not received
until the conclusion of the college semester and are recorded on the high school
transcript at that time. The student must submit an application to their high school
counselor no later than one week prior to the college registration date. (The application
is available in the Flour Bluff High School Graduation and Career Planning Guide or
may be obtained from the high school counselors.)
