Dual credit is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors who meet admissions standards to enroll in public postsecondary institutions in South Dakota and simultaneously earn credits for both their high school diploma and postsecondary degree or certificate.

 Through a program approved by the South Dakota Legislature, dual credit coursework is available to high school students in grades 11-12 at the rate of $50.84 per credit. Students are responsible for the $50.84 per-credit cost and any required textbooks or related course materials.

 Students can choose from several on-campus, online classes and courses offered at Harrisburg High School.  Please contact the college/technical school dual credit coordinator (contact information is located at the bottom of this page) for course advising.

Dual Credit Courses offered at HHS are offered to students for a 50% tuition discount.  Students must meet qualification requirements. Students are not guaranteed placement into a specific semester.
