College in the High School

College in the High School is a collaborative effort between Bemidji High School and Bemidji State University. The program was established to provide academically challenging courses in the high school for which students would receive college credit. College courses would be effectively integrated into the high school schedule so that students would maintain their relationships with Bemidji High School. College-bound students will have the opportunity to establish appropriate expectations for collegiate academic performance. The students may take the courses exclusively for high school credit, or they may choose to register with the university to also receive college credit. 

The student’s grade will appear on the university’s transcript and will be a part of the student’s permanent college record. Withdrawing from one of these courses or receiving a poor grade could negatively affect your college transcript, financial aid process, and acceptance into certain college majors. The decision of whether to grant credit for these courses is entirely up to the accepting college or university. (Note from BSU: Many of the courses offered are part of the Liberal Education requirements at BSU as well as the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, which means they may likely transfer to any two or four year public college or university in MN to help students fulfill required courses in lower-division liberal education areas).
