It’s mostly free! The Dual Credit program depends on the partnership between the high school and the college or the high school home-schooled family and the college. Tuition and college fees are waived if the class is approved from both sides. Some in-person classes have a lab fee and that must be paid by the student. The online Schedule of Classes shows if the class has a lab fee.
So, the Cashier’s Office will periodically send out bills to all students at SFCC. Dual Credit accounts are credited at midterms (halfway through the semester). Please wait until after midterms to see if you owe any balance. The only part you would need to pay is the lab fee for an approved class. If a student decides to take a class that is not approved for the funding, the Dual Credit Office staff will make sure that the counselor, student and family understands the expense before registering.
Three options: Log into mySFCC and go to “My Schedule” to see your registration status for the semester. Second: Contact your high school counselor and ask. Third: Contact the Dual Credit Office and ask. Be sure to log into mySFCC for access to the college’s resources including Outlook email. Outlook is the official email for SFCC and many professors will send messages before the class officially starts. Double-check the start and end dates for the class.
Go to www.sfcc.edu and look for the mySFCC icon on the right- hand side. Click on “Activate Account” underneath the login boxes. Answer the questions to reset a password. You will need your nine-digit A number. Student passwords will need to be 12 characters minimum. It cannot match the last 10 passwords. Passwords expire after 180 days. Passwords require one number (0-9), one lower case character and one upper case character. Add a special character for good measure.
Call the Tech Help Desk at 505-428-1222 and explain what is going on. You can share your date of birth or A number. Will I receive an email from the college? After you apply, the email that is generated will have your username and A number. That is an encrypted email. If you do not receive an email with that information, please contact the Dual Credit Office.

Like physical copies of textbooks, e-readers, access codes, or art supplies? If you are registered for an approved class with a partner high school, then the school district pays for the material as long as you follow the steps to order from the SFCC bookstore. If you are a home-schooled student, then you will pay for your materials but you can use any vendor.
No, you need to place an order using “Financial Aid” and your A number and high school name.
Yes, it is actually asking for your SFCC email: username@sfcc.edu
SFCC email is the first, best option. A written message can be informal, but please keep it professional and pay attention to grammar. Kindly wait 24 hours for a response. Check your syllabus for your professor’s office hours to see if you could talk with the professor on the phone or set up a zoom meeting. Some professors message students on Canvas so you have an inbox there as well. If you have not heard back from your professor after two business days (not the weekend), then please contact the Dual Credit Office for more support.
Please show your Canvas gradebook and share what is happening in your class. Your parent, guardian or high school counselor can also ask the DC Office for feedback from your professor. Parents/guardians are not allowed to contact the professor at any point in the process. SFCC follows the FERPA practices to respect confidentiality for a student.
