What are the BIG differences in a Dual Credit class?

• Instructors are more firm about assignment deadlines and

make up work.

• Attendance is REALLY important. Temple College

policy is that an instructor may drop a student for attendance after 2 absences.

• UIL- Temple College recognizes absences due to UIL the

same as we recognize our own student athletes, however the student must check with the instructor about the length of advanced notice required (see course syllabus).
