Houston Community College - Dual Credit - 2023-2024

As of 4/28/2023

Please delete or disregard any forms or communications regarding Lone Star dual credit.    

Dual Credit Parents and Students:

On April 18, 2023, Lone Star College announced an increase in tuition for dual credit courses. Beginning in the fall of 2023, the cost per credit hour will be $40. The price will be $120 for a 3-hour course, and $160 for a 4-hour course (courses that include labs). The tuition for our current provider, Houston Community College, is $65.00 per course. Lone Star’s substantial increase in tuition and difference in cost between the two dual credit providers is not something we can support or propose to our community. Therefore, Katy ISD has decided to offer all dual credit courses through HCC.

For the 2023-2024 school year, dual credit students will need to complete an HCC application. In order to assist with this requirement, Katy ISD is offering informational sessions. Also, campuses may offer additional opportunities for families to complete the registration process.

The District is offering the following informational sessions:
