Students may sign up for dual credit in their program areas when they complete the dual credit form with TCD staff. This form is a College of DuPage approved document and will not require a parent signature. Technology Center of DuPage collects the forms and submits them to College of DuPage for processing.
Important Dual Credit Testing Information:
- A college level or Category One score on NEXT GEN, an untimed computer-based reading exam, is required to earn dual credit with College of DuPage in Cosmetology.
-
- Exemption from taking NEXT GEN requires an SAT score of 950 or higher or an ACT composite score of 20 or higher.
- If these scores have been met, the student DOES NOT need to take the NEXT GEN exam.
- To be exempt from NEXT GEN, students must log into www.collegeboard.org, print their SAT or ACT score and turn into their TCD instructor.
-
- If the student takes the NEXT GEN, the student must receive a score of 246 or higher and place Category 1 to earn dual credit.
