3: Decide if you want to take Dual Credit classes
If you intend to take Dual Credit classes during the Fall 2023 and/or Spring 2024 terms, you should have entered those specific course requests into Skyward between January 24-27, 2023 or adjusted your requests to include Dual Credit classes during your individual course selection meeting with your school counselor.
4: Apply to Collin College
If you are a brand new Dual Credit student or if you did not take Dual Credit during the Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 terms, you must complete and/or re-apply to Collin College using the following web site: GoApplyTexas.org
If you are a returning Dual Credit student (you earned credit in a Dual Credit class during the Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 term), you may move on to Step 5 on this web page without completing a new Collin College application.
Please note that students will not be able to take Dual Credit classes during the Fall 2023 or Spring 2024 terms without completing the necessary application, registration and payment steps through Collin College.
Students are strongly encouraged to complete their application to Collin College as early as possible as Collin College may take up to 2 weeks to process an application.
The following guide will help you complete the Apply Texas application. Please refer to it as needed.

5: Complete the Dual Credit Permission Form via Google
After the Dual Credit Information Session, please complete the following Dual Credit Permission Form via Google. Without filling out this Google form, students will not be able to register for Dual Credit courses during the Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and/or Spring 2024 semesters. This form will be due ASAP after the March 1, 2023 Dual Credit Information Session and no later than 11:55pm on Friday, March 24, 2023. As your ability to register and pay for the class section you desire is tied to completing this form, it is in your best interest to complete this form as soon as you can. In order to meet the May 1, 2023 registration and payment deadline, you may not complete this form later than Friday, March 24, 2023.
Please note that although this form is only required to be completed once per year, students still must pay for courses each semester.

Please note that this must be filled out by the HHS student from their LISD Google account.
6: Clear remaining holds in Collin College Cougar Web account
Within 3-5 business days of submitting your Collin College application, you should get an email (to the email address you provided in your Collin College application) from “Admissions” giving you access to your Cougar Web account for Collin College. You should check the “holds” or items in your account that are preventing you from being able to pay for courses. If you have holds, please use the guide below for instructions on how to clear common holds. A student cannot pay for courses until all holds are removed from their account. If you have any additional questions about clearing holds, please contact the HHS College and Career Counselor, Dr. Robinson at jarobinson@collin.edu.
The most important hold to clear is the mandatory campus safety hold. This hold requires a student to review a brief video and a short quiz. Please find all holds listed under the Student tab of a CougarWeb account.

7: Pay for Dual Credit courses through Cougar Web
Once all holds are removed and students are registered in their Dual Credit classes, they must pay for Summer 2023 and/or Fall 2023 Dual Credit courses by May 1, 2023.
Students who do not complete payment by May 1, 2023 will not be able to take Dual Credit courses during the Summer 2023 and/or Fall 2023 term. Furthermore, your HHS School Counselor will change your Skyward course requests from Dual Credit courses to HHS courses for those respective subjects.
Payment plans may be established with Collin College if necessary. Students who receive Free/Reduced lunch will have their tuition waived by Collin College. Students must pay for classes for each academic term.
Please note that this process outlines Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 Dual Credit processes. If you are interested in pursuing Concurrent Enrollment (Classes ONLY counting towards your undergraduate career and will not count towards your Hebron transcript), or interested in pursuing Summer 2023 courses, please email Dr. Jessica Robinson, Hebron’s College and Career Counselor, at JARobinson@collin.edu.
