WHAT IS COLLEGE NOW?
College Now allows currently enrolled area high school students earn Lane Community College credits for approved courses taken on their home high school campuses, taught by specifically qualified high school teachers. The High School Connections' office is located in Building 10 Room 207.
DOES MY HIGH SCHOOL OFFER COLLEGE NOW COURSES?
College Now courses by high school
COSTS?
College Now classes are free to students. By taking College Now courses you save time and money on college and can start earning college credits while still in high school.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR COLLEGE NOW COURSES?
Students register for College Now courses as they do all other high school courses under the same requirements/pre-requisites followed by their high school. Check with your high school counselor.
HOW DO I EARN CREDITS?
Students meeting specific academic requirements earn college credits at the same time they are satisfying high school requirements (dual credits).
HOW DO I APPLY?
Through your high school class, application and registration are done online. Registration is required for each credited course.
WILL MY COLLEGE NOW CREDITS BE ACCEPTED BY ALL OTHER COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES?
Many public and private colleges/universities DO grant credit for credits listed on an Lane CC transcript. Students should check with admission and transfer policies of the institution into which they want to transfer college credits.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AP AND COLLEGE NOW?
The biggest difference is that to earn AP credit the student takes one standardized test at the end of the term and must score a minimum score to earn credit. AP tests are given at the student’s expense and can cost over $80 per course. College Now courses are free and earning the minimum grade for the course allows the student to earn college credit by completing the work of the course without further costly testing.
TRANSCRIPTS
As soon as grades appear on your unofficial transcript you can request an official transcript. Be sure to submit your Lane Community College transcript with all college applications.
