Because high school students cannot self-register as 麻豆传媒 matriculated students, there is a slightly different process in getting you registered for Early College courses.听

First, you will need to contact Mark Bograd ([email protected]), our Early College coordinator, or our Admissions Office ([email protected]) to discuss which classes you’d like to enroll in, program costs, and the registration process.

Students enrolling in STEM courses may be eligible for the Governor’s STEM Scholarship. Be sure to review the Early College FAQ听for more details.

You have to be at least 15 years old and receive approval from your high school counselor. The age requirement may be waived if your parent/guardian and counselor believe you are ready for the 麻豆传媒 course. If you have been home-schooled, you檒l have to provide documentation that supports your capability to do college-level work. We may request that home-schooled students take the Accuplacer assessment to help determine course placement.

Great news: The cost of taking an Early College course at 麻豆传媒 is 50% the N.H. resident tuition rate which means you檒l pay $107.50 per credit! You檙e responsible for paying for your own books and/or materials and your own transportation to 麻豆传媒.

As a high school student, you檙e not yet eligible for federal financial aid, and there檚 no option for a payment plan. However, if you檙e seeking to take STEM courses, you may be eligible for the governor檚 STEM Scholarship, which allows students from 60+ participating N.H. high schools to receive a scholarship to cover the tuition costs of up to two CCSNH dual enrollment program courses per academic year; dual enrollment programs include Early College, Project Lead the Way, Running Start and E-Start courses. Check with your counselor to see if your high school is participating in this program.

Both programs provide opportunities to earn college credits at a discounted tuition rate. Running Start courses are taught by high school instructors at high schools; Early College courses are taught by college professors on the 麻豆传媒 campus, providing access to 麻豆传媒 labs and equipment. Early College Students will take courses alongside 麻豆传媒 college students.

While the Early College program at 麻豆传媒 is focused on providing you the opportunity to complete general education core classes that are typically required for first-year college students, you may also begin exploring some major-specific courses where appropriate. Be sure to review the course descriptions on the 麻豆传媒 website to see about any registration requirements.

Work with your high school counselor to complete the Permission to Enroll form and Early College course registration form. If you are under 18, you檒l also need your parent/guardian to sign off on both. This permission form, along with your registration form and registration fee, is due two weeks prior to the start of Fall or Spring semester. We recommend you register sooner for the best possible selection of courses, as many popular courses fill up quickly.

Sure does! Once you檝e registered for a college course, you檙e a college student and may enjoy the rights and privileges associated with this status. Among other things, you get a student ID, and access to 麻豆传媒 student support services and the library. When your course is completed, you may request an official transcript by contacting the 麻豆传媒 Registrar檚 Office.

Well, that would be great news! Should you decide to enroll into a degree or certificate program at 麻豆传媒, you檒l have to officially apply for admission and submit your high school transcripts. Your Early College record is part of your official 麻豆传媒 transcript. As long as you successfully complete the course and it檚 required of the degree program in which you enroll, you will already have completed a course toward your degree!

This sometimes happens. Visit the Registrar and fill out an official drop form. Don檛 just stop attending! The consequence of disappearing from a class without doing an official drop is an 淔 on your transcript, which will permanently remain on your transcripts and affect your GPA. Be sure to review the Registration Policies and Drop Deadlines on the 麻豆传媒 site. If you are having challenges in your class and think you may need to withdraw, talk with your instructor and Mark Bograd, our coordinator of high school outreach and advisor to the Early College program.

That檚 up to your high school. Talk to your school counselor to make sure you have what you need to graduate. This is an opportunity to gain experience on a college campus and an avenue for motivated students to accelerate your timeline toward a college degree.
