Dripping Springs High School offers access to both dual credit and dual enrollment. Dual credit classes are taught by Austin Community College instructors for students beginning in 9th grade. This allows students to earn both high school and college credit at the same time. High school counselors, along with ACC counselors, assist students in the registration process including the application, TSI testing, college advising and course enrollment. Dual enrollment classes are taught by both a DSISD teacher and a college professor employed by the University of Texas. Students can earn high school credit and college credit.
