How We Can Help

Advising & Counseling

  • Advise students on dual credit eligibility, course selection, prerequisites, and registration processes as well as financial aid.
  • Help students set educational goals, identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop strategies for success
  • Check-in with students to address academic concerns including test preparation and college applications to ensure a smooth transition from high school to college.

 

College Transition Support

  • Provide college readiness assistance and college campus visits to familiarize students with the college environment and resources
  • Increase student understanding of college policies, academic requirements, and student support services
  • Facilitate Texarkana College informational sessions for students planning to transfer after high school

Academic Coaches for Dual Credit (AC/DCs) serve as a liaison between high schools, community colleges, students, and parents, fostering effective communication and collaboration.
