Dual Credit - Richland Community College

We are pleased to announce that the Clinton Community Educational Foundation (CCEF) will continue to provide funding for dual credit classes for the 2024-2025 academic year thanks to the Vincent Green Memorial.

CCEF established a unique cooperative arrangement with Richland Community College in 2015. This arrangement provides eligible Clinton High School seniors the opportunity to obtain college credit for coursework completed as part of their high school curriculum – and at a significant savings to the student. For the 2024-2025 academic year, dual credit classes covered under this arrangement will include: English 101, English 102, Psychology 110, and Sociology 110 and will only cost the student $50.00 per class.   Additionally, Environmental Biology and Chemistry 100 courses are taught by CHS staff so those courses are FREE to students minus just a lab fee each semester. 

o Taking all four of the dual credit classes at Richland Community College would regularly cost $1,692.00.

o Students earn 12 college credit hours – almost an entire semester’s worth of classes!    (Note - The free courses are four credit hour courses.  If students took ALL of the courses we offer, they could earn 20 credits for the year.)

o Significant savings! Students save $1,492.00 by taking advantage of these dual credit classes while in high school.

The Clinton Community Educational Foundation wishes you all the best as you plan for your final year  

In the past, we were very fortunate to have Richland Community College's Clinton Education Center located just to the Southwest of CHS.  Currently, classes are being held at CHS.

In the Spring of the CHS student's Junior Year, guidance will work with all of the Junior Class to enroll for their Senior Class schedule.  At this time the guidance office will need to know if you intend to take any of the Dual Credit Classes offered by CCEF through Richland Community College.
