Taking college courses while
still in high school
Qualified
high school students have the opportunity to take college
courses as a Continuing Education (CEND) student. There are numerous reasons why a high school student
may want to take college-level coursework. Common reasons
include:
- The
student is seeking an educational challenge
- The
student wants to increase his/her knowledge in a special
area of interest
- The
student wants to get a head start on college requirements
- The
student wants to improve chances for college admission (keeping
in mind that grades lower than “C” may reduce
chances for future matriculation until they are balanced
by higher grades—A's and B's—earned in additional
college courses)
High school students who want to take UD courses must call 302-831-2741 or 302-831-8843, every semester, to make an appointment with an ACCESS counselor. During this meeting, the counselor will answer any questions and provide forms to be completed by the student, parent, and high school guidance counselor. Please bring a current report card along to the meeting. If you do not live within convenient driving distance, an initial phone appointment can be made; however an in-person appointment is preferred.
Students
may not receive duplicate credit on their UD transcript for
both a UD course and Advanced Placement credits earned
for that course (or a comparable course).
