Prospective Dual Credit Faculty

South Texas College has one of the largest Dual Credit Programs in the State of Texas. The program was established in 1997 to provide dual credit opportunities to high school students. Since 2000, the program has served 144,000 students within 21 school districts and 70 high school partners.

If you are employed by one of our partnering school districts, and you are interested in becoming a Dual Credit faculty, contact Dual Credit Programs.

Dual Credit faculty must meet the same academic and professional credential requirements as regular full-time faculty employed by South Texas College. See Policy DBA (LOCAL) - Employment Requirements and Restrictions: Credentials and Records.

Dual Credit faculty are employed on an as needed basis for a semester with no expectation of continued employment or property rights beyond the semester assignment.

Dual Credit Pay Rates

Approved Dual Credit Faculty (DCF), are compensated a stipend that is $500 per section, per semester. Stipend payment(s) for Dual Credit sections will be equally divided according to the semester/session length and paid semi-monthly, as per STC Human Resources’ payroll system. Accordingly, Summer and Minimester session stipends will also be divided based on session length. Should a Dual Credit section be reassigned to another Faculty or terminated, the remaining stipend payments would also cease. For sections that are approved by the Dean for Dual Credit Programs & School District Partnerships under a special exception circumstance due to not meeting the required minimum enrollment per course, ten (10) students enrolled in Academic sections and seven (7) students in Career & Technical Education sections, the DCF will be compensated a stipend per student. The stipend of $100 per student is applicable for special exception courses with enrollment under 5 students only.
