Early College Eligibility

Concurrent Eligibility & Prerequisite Information

Concurrent enrollment is open to qualified high school sophomores, juniors and seniors.  Some courses have prerequisite requirements.  These prerequisites ensure that you are academically prepared for your college class.  It’s important that you meet with your high school counselor to determine if you have the appropriate placement scores on file prior to registering for courses.  See below for current prerequisite information.  If you have not taken the ACT or need to schedule a placement test, please contact your HCC campus or regional center to set up a testing date.
