Dual credit courses at McKinney High School are offered through Collin College. For parents new to the world of “dual credit,” the dual credit program allows high school students to take Collin College courses and receive credit both for their high school diploma and their college degree.  Courses may be taught on the high school or the college campus by Collin College professors.

MHS DUAL CREDIT REGISTRATION – Step by Step Directions

(Steps #1-4 must be completed by Feb 23, 2024)

Collin College Advisor for McKinney HS students:

• Ms. Angela Morales ([email protected]); Room C100 (Go Center) right in front of the downstairs Flex Space

Step 1 for all NEW Collin College Dual Credit Students:

• Create and submit your application through www.applytexas.org
• Double check you are applying for the correct term (FALL 2024) and that you fully submit your application.
• Allow 2-3 business days for your application to be processed.
• Your Workday (formerly CougarWeb) login information will be emailed to the email account that you consistently check once accepted. Be sure to check your spam folder.

Step 2:

• Once you complete the online application, you will receive an email from Workday, which will contain your Collin College student CW ID# as well as the login information.

Step 3: IMPORTANT!!!

• Google Dual Credit Registration Form: Once you have your Collin College student ID# or you are a current Dual Credit and already have your CW ID#, fill out the Google registration form (link below).  This is where you will select your Dual Credit Courses.  Pay attention to the days and times of the course and select those that will work with your schedule.  Skipping this step will prevent Ms. Morales from registering your requested courses.
