I'm Ready to Start College!
What Are My Options?
High school students have two options to begin classes learning college-level material, get a head start on a college degree, and realize your life goals sooner by attending
Coastline College,
Golden West College, or
Orange Coast College.
Attend College with My High School Friends
Take courses at your high school with your friends and classmates. All costs, including books and course materials, are covered. You attend for free and you earn college credit. Your high school counselor will help determine if the course is right for you and fits in your schedule.
Attend College with Other College Students
Take courses at the college campus or online. Courses are tuition free, though textbook, course materials, and some campus costs may apply. Our faculty and administration do a lot to keep these costs down. This is a great option to discuss with your high school counselor if you are looking for a challenge and a next step in your studies not available at your high school.
