Welcome, high school counselors! This section is dedicated to covering basic information to prepare you to “co-advise” prospective or current dual credit students. Please contact the dual credit advisor who assists your school with any questions you may have.

• Academic Programs
  • High School students are able to take almost any course offered by Spoon River College as long as they meet eligibility requirements and are approved by the high school. You can view all our course offerings and suggested academic plans in the SRC Course Catalog (link to catalog).
    If students are questioning what course to take, please contact your SRC Dual Credit Advisor for guidance.

• Class Schedule and Class Search
  • When registration is open, you can view the course schedules (on campus, online, or hybrid). Go to src.edu and click “Class Schedule” at the top of the page. To view if courses are open, use the “Course Search” function on that page to view specific courses and see what seats are available.
• Dual Credit Scholarship
  • The SRC Foundation offers dual credit scholarships to assist eligible area high school students who want to begin earning college credit while still in high school. Scholarship awards are applied to a student’s account at SRC. If the account has been paid in full, the student will receive a refund check in the amount of the award. Preference will be given to those families with less than $65,000 gross annual income and a household totaling four or more people, but all may apply for consideration. Awards are subject to the availability of funds, and not all who apply will necessarily receive awards.
  • Awards are made after each semester begins. Application forms are available at the SRC Foundation Scholarship page. Complete, print, and sign the forms, and mail prior to the deadline to the SRC Foundation at the address listed on the form.  The entire application must be filled out; any field left blank will subject the application to disqualification.
  • These scholarships are limited to students attending SRC district high schools offering dual credit courses through Spoon River College. For more information, contact Dusty Berg or by phone at (309) 649-6395.
