| Important Note to Parents and Students |
GBC complies with the Family Education and Privacy Act (FERPA). Parents
will not have access to student grades, financial records, etc. High school students
enrolled in dual credit courses are treated like any other college student. The
student, and not the parent, must sign the appropriate approval forms, resolve concerns
with course instructors, access his or her own grades, etc. All fees are due before
classes begin. It is the student's responsibility to check for transferability of
GBC courses to other educational institutions.

Each county school district in Nevada has its own policy regarding
dual credit courses. As GBC learns each school district's policy, it will be posted below:
- Elko County Dual Credit Courses (PDF File*)
- Eureka County Dual Credit Courses: The school district accepts all GBC English and math courses for dual credit. (Contact your high school counselor before enrolling.)
- White Pine County Dual Credit Courses (PDF File*)
- In Lander, Nye, and Humboldt Counties, ask your high school principal or counselor about dual enrollment.
Students and parents are advised to read the benefits and things to consider about dual enrollment before enrolling.
The steps for initially applying as a Dual Credit student are listed opposite. In addition,
a High School Permission form is required for each semester in which a student wants to
earn dual credit.
For more information, contact your high school counselor or the the GBC Director of
Continuing Education at 775.753.2231.
