Dual Credit

  • Students may dual-enroll in both an ETHS class and the equivalent Oakton College class and receive college credit. Through agreements with Oakton, students will enroll with the college and, after successfully passing the ETHS class, will receive college credit for the course. Dual credit is currently offered in certain courses in the Arts & Innovation, Science, and Mathematics Departments. Contact Michelle Vazquez, the ETHS Post-Secondary Counselor, at vazquezm@eths202.org  for more information. 

    View the Oakton Early College website to discover courses that serve as Dual Credit, Advanced Placement (AP) Credit, and Concurrent Enrollment.  Dual credit courses are taught at ETHS by Oakton-approved high school teachers.

Note: The login credentials students set-up themselves to complete the application are not the same as the ones to access myOakton. Students need to wait for their Welcome Letter before they can complete the registration process.
