We'll help guide you through the enrollment process, which is designed to help ensure students are prepared for college-level coursework in a college setting and will benefit from the experience.

Some quick notes:

To be considered for enrollment, it is ideal if a student has completed their high school freshman year or is currently a freshman.
It's helpful to enroll early. If the semester a student would like to enroll for starts in less than three weeks, we cannot guarantee that the student will be able to enroll in the course.
The course and grade a student earns will be recorded on their ��ͷ��app academic transcript. While students are unable to apply for federal financial aid while in high school, the college credits and grades will be considered in future financial aid and college applications.
There are some courses that are not available to students who are under 16 years of age. Some courses (such as some levels of math or English) may require the ��ͷ��app placement test.
Students under the age of 16 are strongly encouraged to submit a "Release of Information" to authorize ��ͷ��app to speak with a parent or guardian regarding account information. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) does not allow ��ͷ��app to speak with any parent or guardian without this authorization.

✔ Apply.

The first step for any student (regardless of age) is to apply online or on paper. Get a paper copy by visiting the admission office on main campus or any of the Outreach Centers.

✔ Submit transcripts.

✔ Submit "request to enroll" letter.

Next Steps

Once ��ͷ��app has received all the necessary materials, we will present a student’s request to ��ͷ��app administration for their review and then contact the student with the results. If approved, it is important to note that it is only for the requested semester and class. Until students are 16 years old, portions of this process would need to be completed again for future semesters in which they would like to enroll.
