Early College Enrollment (High School Students)

Qualified high school students are offered the opportunity to enroll in onsite courses taught on the residential campus under the Early College Enrollment program. A student must have maintained a 3.0 average on a 4.0 scale in high school classes and be recommended by a high school counselor or principal to qualify. A qualified student who has completed the first semester of their junior year may begin taking 100 level courses in the spring semester, continue each summer session, and take one course each semester of the senior year, not to exceed four courses. There is no tuition charge for credits earned under the Early College Enrollment program; however, a registration fee of $50 per course is charged at the time of registration. Students must be registered by the first day of classes. Please contact the Admissions Office for further assistance. Note: Student qualification, enrollment and financial arrangements made with high schools teaching courses outside of the Marion campus are outlined in the associated Memo of Understanding.
