Allen ISD and Collin College have a partnership which allows students enrolled at Allen High School to take courses and participate in programs at Collin College for both high school and college credit.  

All Allen High School Dual Credit academic and Dual Credit Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses/programs will be located at the Collin College Technical Campus (CTC). 

  • The CTC is located right next to the AISD STEAM Center.

  • AISD will provide buses to shuttle students to and from AHS and the CTC just as we already provide buses to shuttle students to and from AHS and the STEAM Center.

  • Students may also drive to and from the CTC just as they already drive to and from the STEAM Center.

  • The AHS, STEAM and Dual Credit schedules are staggered to allow students to take classes on multiple campuses.

IMPORTANT UPDATE AFFECTING DUAL CREDIT ELIGIBILITY

Collin College is allowing students to use PSAT/NMSQT scores to meet college-readiness for the 2025-2026 school year, but STAAR EOC scores can no longer be used to waive the TSIA.

Any current dual credit student wanting to take a new subject area may be required to take the TSIA or provide eligible SAT or ACT scores related to that subject area.
