Tips for Success as a Dual Credit Student Make sure to apply to SWIC and set up your eSTORM account before SWIC representatives come to your school for registrations. Meet all deadlines and requisites to ensure that you are registered for your class. You are a college student; ensure that you are following all guidelines and meeting the academic requirements of your course(s). Use your resources, including the Success Center, Library, and Career Services. If you’re not going to SWIC after high school, ask for your transcript to be sent to your college after your final spring grades are posted. Always feel free to reach out to the Dual Credit Coordinator with any questions about the program.
