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, the Concurrent Enrollment Program, or the Learn & Earn Online 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. Current classes include accounting, anthropology, 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 online 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? The Huskin's Program, the Concurrent Enrollment Program, and the Learn & Earn Online Program are state-funded academic programs for high school students. But there are differences.

HUSKINS CLASSES are technical courses designed specifically for public high school student enrollment. They are available to juniors & seniors, who are at least 16 years old, and are offered during 1st and 4th blocks 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 recommended by the chief administrative officer of the high school for enrollment.

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

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT CLASSES are technical college-credit courses in which qualified, non-public 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 non-public high school
• be recommended by their high school principal and approved by the appropriate community college personnel

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 public and non-public high school students to take an online College Transfer course through the high school. 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 Huskins, Concurrent, and Learn & Earn Online courses.

The Concurrent Enrollment Release Form consists of a document in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) which requires a document viewer program. Get Adobe Reader (the PDF viewer) is available at no cost from Adobe.

RCC offers courses:
• at RCC's Asheboro Campus
• online
• during the evening
