    Dual credit courses are college courses that students take while in high school, earning both high school and college credit.  FBISD offers dual credit courses through Houston Community College for free if you reside within the HCC taxing district. All students must purchase textbooks. Please note there are limitations to what students can take as dual credit as per our agreement with HCC.
