Degree vs Non-Degree

Students in the Degree Program must enter the program as freshmen. 

• Extremely dedicated freshman may pay for their own college courses to catch up to their degree cohort, if they did not sign up during 8th grade.

Students must take a specific set of college courses to fulfill the college and high school graduation requirements. 

• 19 college courses and one college lab (60 credits)

Degree students will have priority for all college courses

Students are also required to complete community/school service hours.

Students can start taking college courses beginning their sophomore year.

Non-degree students may be added to any grade-appropriate early college course if there are seats available.

Generally, students are limited to a maximum of 2 college courses/semester. 

Non-degree students are not required to complete community/school service.
