Dual Credit Information
The Dual Credit Program allows a student to enroll in a community college to earn college level credit while at the same time fulfilling high school academic requirements. Tuition and fees are waived for up to two courses per semester. Please keep in mind that the different colleges in the Alamo Community College District (ACCD) have different requirements and restrictions for students to enroll. All students must complete an admissions application, turn in a notarized high school transcript, and have minimum test scores on the SAT, ACT, THEA, or ACCUPLACER. The ACCUPLACER can be taken at any ACCD campus. Please call the college you are interested in directly for specific requirements and testing times.

Simultaneous Membership Program
(SMP)
LACK OF MONEY is the main reason prospects give for not going to Texas A&M...Well this excuse is no longer valid.
If a prospect really wants to be an Aggie in The Corps the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) could be the answer. The SMP is an excellent internship between the Texas National Guard and the Army ROTC, which can provide all the financial assistance required for a student to attend Texas A&M.
If a prospect begins in high school, this program can pay up to $131,785 to attend Texas A&M and become a dedicated Texas Army National Guard Officer. If the prospect doesn't want to be tied to the Guard and wants to go on Active Duty, the SMP program will pay $101,785. Remember, total cost to attend Texas A&M over four years is less than $80,000.
If you have a high school prospect looking for college funds direct them to look into this program. For details contact Spencer Bulger (866) 759-0737.
