Start College Now & Early College Credit

Start College Now

“Start College Now” will allow high school students the opportunity to take college courses at Wisconsin Technical Colleges. The process is very similar to Youth Options. 38.12 (14) will lay out all the aspects of the program. In addition, feel free to review and download the application.  Students looking to take courses in the fall semester must turn in the application by March 1. For spring semester courses the same application is used, however the due date is October 1. Forms are due to the counselors prior to this.


Feel free to contact Ann Westrich with questions; ann.westrich@wtcsystem.edu or feel free to contact the Career Prep Coordinator at our connected Technical College (Vincent Lieu at Gateway Technical College).
