College Planning

College/ Dual Credit Courses: 

Students need to be aware that their course selections in high school will either enhance their post high school opportunities or limit them. Each post high school option has its own admission requirements. Each student is expected to be pro-active in planning to meet those requirements for the post high school option of their choice. Students have the option to earn college credit while in high school. Students planning on attending college after high school may choose to take advantage of the different options that Lakeview offers. Tuition and admissions testing are the responsibility of the student however the school counseling department will gladly assist in preparing for college credit courses.

Online and Onsite College Classes – Students who are on track to graduate and have permission from the administration may enroll in online/onsite classes at the various community colleges. Students who qualify may be given a period during the school day to work on their college class. Students may also take onsite college courses at Central Community College if scheduling permits. Students are responsible for paying for tuition and books for these classes. Students typically do not earn high school credit from Lakeview High School for these classes. It is highly recommended that students check with the technical school, college, or university they plan to attend to ensure that credits will transfer. 

Dual Credit – Dual credit classes offer the students the opportunity to earn high school and college credits at the same time. Our current offerings are College Algebra, General Biology, College English and Public Speaking which are all offered through CCC. Lakeview also offers Calculus through Nebraska Wesleyan. It is highly recommended that students check with the technical school, college, or university they plan to attend to ensure that credits will transfer. Students are responsible for tuition for the college credits, but Lakeview provides the books.
