High School Students as Nondegree

On occasion, and at our discretion, we have admitted high school students who have demonstrated advanced proficiency beyond the typical high school curriculum in certain subject areas as a nondegree student.

High school students seeking to enroll in courses at the college must provide the following documentation:

Letter of Approval from the High School Principal
A signed letter on school letterhead stating that the student has permission to take college-level courses. An email sent directly from Principal will also suffice.
Official High School Transcript
The transcript should demonstrate that the student has strong academic performance appropriate for college-level work.
For Students Age 16 or Younger
- A letter of permission from the parent or legal guardian granting approval for the student to enroll in college classes.
- In these cases, the college will also notify Public Safety to coordinate either assigning a chaperone or allowing the parent/guardian to accompany the student on campus.
