College Classes

Students at Conestoga have opportunities to earn college credit while still in high school. This typically happens in one of two ways.

1: Dual Credit Courses (High School and College Credit earned with reduced tuition rate)

English IV, Advanced Biology, US History, Journalism & Free Speech, and Advanced Speech can be taken for high school and college credit through Wesleyan. Student are in class with Conestoga teachers.  If they choose to do so, they will receive both high school and college credits.  Information for signing up for these classes is given through the class.

Business, Welding, Intro to Education and Spanish classes may also be taught on-site through the SENCAP program. Students can enroll in these programs through the counseling office. They will receive both high school and college credit for these classes.

2: Online College Classes

Juniors and seniors have the opportunity to schedule a class period to work on an online college class.  Students are responsible for signing up for the class and then showing proof of enrollment. Students, along with a parent/guardian, will also need to sign an agreement about how the class period will be spent.

Students can enroll in a class at any institution of their choice.  However, most of our students enroll in a class though the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) or Southeast Community Colleges SENCAP program. 

UNL's program for college credit, available to high school students is the Nebraska Now. You can start the enrollment process by clicking on the following link:
