Dual Credit

Earn College Credit While in High School

The Dual Credit Program at Joliet Junior College gives high school students the opportunity to get a head start on their college education by enrolling in college courses that count for both high school and college credit at the same time.

Benefits of Dual Credit

  • JJC student privileges. Dual Credit students are JJC students and may get a JJC student ID at the Main Campus Photo ID Services or Romeoville Campus Resource Center. The JJC ID provides access to the Library, computer labs, Fitness Center, Testing Services, and Bookstore.
  • Lower college costs. Dual credit tuition is just $12 per credit hour, reducing overall college expenses.
  • Faster degree completion. Students earn college credit while in high school, helping them complete a degree sooner.
  • Smooth transition to college. Courses provide real college-level experience, helping students build confidence and understand expectations.
  • Convenient scheduling. Dual credit courses are taken during the regular high school day at the student's high school or area career center.
  • Transfer opportunities. Students receive a JJC grade for each dual credit course. To explore transfer options, visit transferology.com.
