college in high school (Chs)

MOUNT ALOYSIUS COLLEGE:

Students enrolled in specific courses have the opportunity to enroll in College in High School (CHS) courses through a partnership Southmoreland School District has established with Mount Aloysius College. This program allows students to earn college credits upon successful completion of specific, upper-level courses offered at Southmoreland High School. Students enrolled in specific classes will have the opportunity to purchase credits by completing the enrollment form a the link below and submitting payment directly to Mount Aloysius College. 

Enrollment is typically offered in the fall but Mount Aloysius College may choose to open enrollment at other points in the school year at their discretion.

Once courses are completed and grades finalized, the student will need to request an official transcript directly from Mount Aloysius College. The high school course will be listed on the high school transcript, but the college-level credit will not at this time. 

This program allows students to earn college credits by taking specific Southmoreland classes. These courses are taught by Southmoreland High School faculty who have passed the rigorous review process conducted by the Mount Aloysius College. Students are not required to purchase the college credits in order to take the class; this is optional for those who wish to receive college credits for future use in a college or university. 

Credits earned through a College in High School (CHS) course have transferred to many colleges and universities. The students are responsible for checking their prospective universities to determine if the institution you are interested in attending will accept CHS. At no time will your school counselor or teacher be able to guarantee a course transfer credit.
