If you’re trying to get a jump-start on college courses or find a way to enhance your high school or personal education endeavors, ACC gives high school students a variety of options.

1. Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Act (PSEO)
   • Student must be age 17 or older and a junior or senior attending a public high school.
   • Student must meet with a high school counselor; fill out the Statewide Agreement form. (the high school counselor will forward the form to the school district for approval)
   • Student will complete the ACC Application for Admissions with a parent or guardian.
   • Apply for the College Opportunity Fund if not already done.
   • Student must meet prerequisite or testing requirements prior to registration.
   • Register for courses.

   High school students who successfully pass ACC courses can use the ACC coursework for both high school and college credit. The student may also be eligible for tuition reimbursement or pre-paid tuition options.

2. Under 17? You could still attend ACC!

   ACC policy is that students must be at least 17 years of age to attend. However, we recognize that there are younger students who perform well above average in high school. Therefore, we have a program whereby students under 17 may be accepted for underage admissions. These students need to be prepared to work in a college classroom environment and meet college-level expectations without additional considerations for age differences and/or maturity levels.

   For more information see these documents: Underage Instruction Letter, Underage Check List, and Underage Parent Consent

3. Home Schooled Students

   Home schooled students age 17 or older have an excellent opportunity to earn credit toward a college degree while their completing secondary studies.
