Dual Credit at the Link
We are excited to be offering dual credit classes at the Link. We believe this is a fantastic opportunity for our homeschooling students to receive an excellent education with instructors who are teaching from a Christian world view in a comfortable setting once a week. It will be a benefit for your student to get college courses out of the way now and at a fraction of the cost.
Two registration processes are required for all dual credit courses. You must register for the course with the college institution offering your course and with the Link.
A student may take a dual-credit course at the Link without paying for the college credit (it depends on the college offering the course). In this case, the course will serve as high school credit only with no college credit earned, and no fees will be paid to any college.
