Dual Credit provides an opportunity for high school students to take college courses for credit at both the college and high school levels. The classes are taught by high school instructors qualified to teach college-level courses. Classes are held at the students' high school during the regular school day.

Benefits include:

• Exposure to college-level rigors while still enrolled in high school
• Reduction of time and costs toward a college degree
• Introduction to and development of career pathways
• A jump-start on earning post-secondary credentials

In addition, high school students can earn college credit through dual enrollment, which involves students enrolling in on-campus courses at Moraine Valley while still in high school and requires high school authorization. Also, Moraine Valley does grant college credit for students who earn specified scores on Advanced Placement exams.
