Early Admission
The Early Admission Program provides opportunities for eligible students to enroll in college prior to high school graduation. When students are accepted for admission to an approved college or university prior to the completion of high school, some college-level credits can be used to satisfy high school graduation requirements. Upon successful completion of all graduation requirements, students will earn a high school diploma and may attend commencement exercises with their high school.
