Through Epic's Next Step program, 11th and 12th grade students can earn high school credit for participating in a part-time job, internships, concurrent enrollment, or Career Tech.
The learning objective for the student is to gain knowledge and skills relevant to a career or job with practical application and skills development, in a setting allowing the student to learn through hands-on application and/or observation.
The student will complete a minimum of 60 hours.
The student will complete 3 soft-skill assignments. Together with the teacher, the student will choose from a list of options, based on the student's unique path.
Yes! You can attend college your senior year and receive high school credit! You will complete your financial aid application at: www.fafsa.gov and apply for admission to the colleges that are available to Epic Charter Schools for concurrent enrollment. Even if you do not live near the campus, most schools offer online courses. Should you choose to do this, get with your teacher and she will assist you with the process!
Step 1: Student selects college he/she wants to take concurrent enrollment courses at. (For Spring, applications need to be submitted by December and for Fall, usually in March or April.)
Step. 2: Student submits an application to the college. As part of the application process, the student will have a dual enrollment form to be signed by their GSM and will submit a high school transcript to the college. Click here to request a copy of your transcript.
Step 3: If accepted, the student will enroll in classes they are qualified to take.
*To be eligible for tuition waivers through the Oklahoma Regents (seniors only), the minimum requirements are ACT score of 19 OR a 3.0 GPA for local community colleges. Many courses will have a higher ACT score requirement.
Step 4: Provide your GSM with your college schedule so that your courses can count dually for high school and college credit.
-Career Tech courses in a program that leads to a certification will count towards the Next Step requirement.
-The application and enrollment process is handled directly with the career tech in the student's district.
-Generally, students would apply for a Career Tech program the winter of their 10th grade year, to attend a 2-year program during their 11th and 12th grade years.

Juniors are required to take the ACT. This consists of five tests, and it will take up to six hours. You do not get a lunch break, however, you will get a short break in the middle.
An additional Science test is required. It will be taken on a different day and will not take nearly as long as the ACT.
The ACT is a great way to get scholarships and get into college. Prior to registering, we need to know which colleges you might like to attend. We want to make sure your scores are sent to those schools.
