Welcome to CCC's High School Connections programs!
Did you know that you can earn college credit through CCC while still in high school? CCC partners with over 40 high schools to offer students the chance to earn college credit for free or at a highly discounted rate.
Select your high school to see what programs are available to you:

Homeschooled students and high school students who are not enrolled in a High School Connections program can still take CCC classes at standard tuition and fee rates. Students without a high school diploma or GED cannot use financial aid.

Why earn college credit in high school?
- Explore college programs and career options without declaring a major.
- Save money on your education.
- Save time and advance your path to degree completion or career goals.
- Students who take part in dual enrollment are more likely than their peers to finish high school, enter college and complete a degree, according to a 2014 Education Northwest study.
Schedule a meeting with the High School Connections advisor at CCC to create your college plan.

"More" doesn't always mean "better" when it comes to college courses. Intentional credit, or "credits with a purpose" means you should choose college courses that will help you advance your goals!
You are building a college transcript when you register for college credit, so it's key to track your grades and what college classes (e.g., ACC classes, AP exams, etc.) you have taken.
To learn about the difference between ACC and AP (both of which grant college credit), please view the ACC vs AP Comparison. To see what college credit can be earned through taking AP tests, view CCC's AP Score Equivalencies.
If you want to know how your college credit fits into your future goals, schedule a meeting with the High School Connections advisor at CCC! You can also check out the CCC Degree Planning Tool in Self Service to see how credits you have earned in high school can fit into a CCC degree or certificate.
You can also view our college course catalog to explore degree and certificate options at CCC.
Taking college courses can also impact your future financial aid. To learn how taking college credits impacts financial aid, like Oregon Promise, please see the following:

- CCC Financial Aid and Scholarship Information
High school students cannot receive federal financial aid or scholarships until they have completed a high school diploma or GED.
Once you register for a class in a CCC High School Connections program, you can access college resources. View the Student Resources Brochure for a list of helpful services available to High School Connections students!
If you need special education services, the Disability Resource Center can help you with college accommodations. For more information about the Disability Resource Center, view the FAQ below:
