Get a head start on college while you are still in high school!

College courses are available to high school students for very reduced prices, allowing students to get a head start on college and save money at the same time. See the options below for more information on enrolling in college courses.

• Students must confer with counselors during scheduling about taking college courses for high school credit. These must be pre-arranged in order to count for high school credit.

• Course offerings, times, locations, fees and admittance and entry requirements rest solely with and are at the discretion of the college or university.

• Registration, transportation, and all fees are the responsibility of the students and their parents, with the exception of transportation for Blue Ridge JumpStart students.

• College courses should not be confused with advanced placement courses that are offered during the regular school day at all Berkeley County high schools.

• Some college courses may be included on a senior’s high school schedule. These will be limited as all students must be enrolled in seven periods. Only seniors will be allowed to leave the high school campus.

Approved Dual Credit Courses: Only BCS approved college courses can count as dual credit classes. Dual credit classes give both high school and college credits. Some college courses can count as required high school credits. Others will count as electives. Civics is NOT available as a dual credit course. Therefore, this class must be taken at the high school. Check with your counselor to determine if courses will count as required or elective credits. Failure of college course(s) can affect graduation requirements.
