Taking Classes for College Credit

If you are interested in taking college courses while you are pursuing your high school diploma, you can apply for the Collegiate Credit for High School Students (CCHSS) program. Talk to your high school guidance counselor to find out how university courses fit into your high school schedule and college planning. This program is designed for admission-eligible, mature high school juniors and seniors who demonstrate preparation for college-level course work. If you are interested in CCHSS you must:

submit the Application for Admission as a Special High School Applicant.
obtain the endorsement of your high school counselor, through the form of a letter of recommendation.
provide an official high school transcript.
include your PSAT, SAT, or ACT scores.

Application forms may also be obtained from the IU Kokomo Office of Admissions. CCHSS students are not eligible for federal, state, or university financial aid.

If you apply to take college courses while a high school junior or senior, you are expected to be on track and anticipated to meet or exceed the requirements to enroll in order to pursue a degree at the point and time you will graduate from high school.
