Dual Credit Costs
As part of our agreement with Dallas College, FISD students will receive FREE in-district tuition for classes that are taken as dual credit classes, including the costs of all instructional materials. A dual credit course is part of the student's FISD course schedule in Skyward and taken in the traditional 16-week format (with the exception of certain Dual Credit CTE courses).
