Seniors with a 3.0 grade point average and in good standing to graduate may register for a college credit at Owensboro Community and Technical College (OCTC) each semester. Final approval rests with the principal and Owensboro Community and Technical College. ACT scores are required. An English ACT score of 20 is required to take English 101 and a Math ACT score of 20 is required to take the Math 150. Students can take a placement test, the Compass, at Owensboro Community and Technical College. If the Compass test is high enough, it is possible to override a low ACT score. All fees are the responsibility of the student. It is the responsibility of the student to determine if credits will transfer to the college of their choice. Most public state colleges will accept all credits. Students cannot use the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES). If a student qualifies for free and reduced lunch, he or she is possibly eligible for financial aid during high school. The class is now dual credit. The grade from the college course will be placed on the high school transcript and will possibly count toward the student grade point average. The grade from the college course will also be placed on the college transcript and will count toward the college grade point average. If a student transfers the credit from Owensboro Community and Technical College to a four-year institution, the grade will not be calculated into the grade point average of the four-year institution. The OCTC credit will count toward the total number of credit hours required for most four-year college degrees.
