Tips for Taking College-Level Courses in High School

1. Before you take a college-level course, think about how it will affect your high school connections such as extra-curricular activities or a part-time job. You will want to have enough time for the course and the homework.

2. The grades you receive for these courses will not only be a part of your high school transcript but your college transcript as well.

3. Your high school and college academic calendars may be different. This means that even if you don't have to go to your high school classes, you may still have to go to your college classes.

4. If you register for a course as a High School Guest 学生 make sure you know all of the costs (such as tuition, fees, books, and supplies) ahead of time. You don't want to get into the class and then realize you don't have enough money to cover the expenses. Note: high school students are not eligible for financial aid.

5. Find out how your college credits will transfer into your major at your next college or university. If you plan to attend Hawkeye after high school, the High School Partnerships office can help with this.
