Free Classes for High School Juniors and Seniors

HIGH SCHOOL COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS

High School juniors or seniors, give yourself some credit.

Here's the deal.
If you take courses through the Huskin's Program or the Concurrent Enrollment Program at Randolph Community College, you can earn college credit while you are still in high school.

Plus these programs are tuition free! (Mom and Dad love that part!)

You have to be:
• a high school student
• in high school classes at least half the school day
• at least 16-years-old

You have to be ready to handle the challenges & responsibilities of college courses. You can take any credit course that Randolph Community College offers. Current classes include anthropology, architectural graphics, and autobody welding, and that's just a sample from the letter "A."

You have to meet all the entry requirements of any other college student, but hey, you'll be a college student.
Get started on an associate degree or choose from among dozens of courses Randolph Community College offers every semester that transfer to four-year colleges and universities.

You may be wondering, which program is right for you? Both the Huskin's Program and the Concurrent Enrollment Program are state-funded academic programs for high school students. But there are differences.

HUSKINS CLASSES are college credit courses designed specifically for high school student enrollment. They are available to juniors & seniors, who are at least 16 years old, during the 1st and/or 4th blocks on the high school campus or during 1st and 4th blocks if taught on the college campus. (The course description will indicate if the course will occur at the home high school or on the college campus.)

These courses provide college semester hours' credit and may provide high school unit credit toward graduation. College tuition is free. In some courses, textbooks are provided by the public school system. Students must meet the college's entrance and prerequisite requirements and be approved by their high school principal.

Courses are offered in:
• College Transfer
• General Core Curricula
• Associate Degree Majors
• Licensing
• Certification Areas
• Career Pathway Introduction Offerings

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT CLASSES are college-credit courses in which qualified high school students can join college-level students in their regular classes.

Students must:
• be 16 years of age to enroll
• meet the college's admission requirements
• meet prerequisite requirements
• be enrolled at least one half day at their home high school
• be approved by their high school principal

Students also must provide their own transportation. If the course is offered during the high school instructional day, attendance must not interfere with scheduled class time at the high school.

THE LEARN AND EARN ONLINE PROGRAM allows high school students to take an online course at the high school under the supervision of a facilitator. Fill out the Learn and Earn Online form AND the Concurrent Enrollment Release Form below.

PRIOR APPROVAL by the high school principal is necessary to enroll in both Huskins or Concurrent courses.
