<p>I’m still in high school, will be a junior in the fall, but i want to graduate a year early so i need 1.5 elective credits and 1 more english credit along with the 6.5 credits of classes i’m taking at school to do it. Can i register at the nearby community college to take an english course and an elective course? How would i go about doing that? Do they allow that?</p>
<p>It depends on your state… if you live in NC get ready to hire a lawyer. LOL</p>
<p>Talk to your counselor… and there should be a “Director of cooperative education” at the college.</p>
<p>haha why would they need a lawyer? no, i live in NH…</p>
<p>I couldn’t find anything online about NH dual enrollment or admissions requirement in age.
</p>
<p>You need a lawyer to get ANY part of the educational system in NC to work. I swear the state superintendent is the only one during her job.
The law that allowed students under 16 to take classes in person expired last year, and even when it was around you had to do the following:
Aptitude test of their choice (expensive) 90th percentile or above (not hard)
2 achievement tests (expensive) 90th percentile or above (not hard)
Recommendation as the top 1% of your class in 20 categories from ALL of your teachers (they weren’t told that top 1% was mandatory and they just had to check off boxes)
Recommendation from your counselor and principal
Approval from your local board of education
Signature of your Local superintendent
Interview with the president of the community college
If under 13 your parents had to follow you around all day
No FA granted</p>
<p>Now days you have to attend a special school that has to apply for an exemption from 3 different institutions–many of which are denied.</p>
<p>All to take fracking glorified middle school level classes.</p>
<p>Of course now you can take online community college course (limited low level classes). With only half the effort.</p>
<p>Ah, sounds complicated :x
Yeah i was looking into just taking an english course and maybe a psych intro course online, as it’s flexible and easier for me. Can i do that? Will it be expensive? How do i enroll?</p>
<p>for me, it’s EXTREMELY easy to enroll in classes, provided that you pass the necessary tests. even then, the process is relatively easy. i live in CA. all i did was talk to my counselor about my goals in taking classes and then followed the procedure given online at the school’s website. it was a special program for high schoolers, so i could find everything i needed very easily. it cost NOTHING for me. there’s also a program at a state university that only costs $5 per semester, which i will do later in my high school career.</p>
<p>i can’t imagine that the process changes dramatically state to state.</p>
<p>thanks! Yeah, i decided to shoot an inquiry e-mail to the info e-mail provided on the site. And i’ll see if i can find my counselor this week to discuss it in person, see if she knows anything about the process (its exam week, so teachers/staff are scare…or busy!)</p>
