Youth & Course Options will no longer be an operational program as of June 30, 2018. Due to the need for high school students to take college-level courses while in high school new programs have been developed. Both programs allow qualified students to take college courses at a UW System campus or technical college and have the cost (tuition, fees, and books) paid by their school district. To participate in these programs, you must obtain approval from your school district, meet admission criteria, and be accepted by a UW System campus or technical college. Students are limited to a max of 18 credits total. For more information, talk with your school counselor or the admission office at the campus you hope to attend. 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.
Start College Now Program will allow high school students the opportunity to take college courses at Wisconsin Technical Colleges.
