High School Connections Programs
Clackamas Community College (CCC) provides college credit programs specifically designed for high school students. CCC's High School Connections programs allow students to explore college programs and career options while saving money and time by earning credits toward their certificate/degree. All High School Connections programs grant college credit that appears on students' CCC transcripts. Contracts with high schools and/or school districts are required for each program. Students may only participate in programs offered at their high school.
CCC offers four High School Connections programs for students to earn college credit while still in high school:
Advanced College Credit (ACC)
ACC classes are college courses taken at the high school and taught by an approved high school instructor. High school instructors must meet qualifying college criteria. ACC classes are $10 per credit, charged directly to the student. Students receiving free/reduced lunch can have ACC fees waived. High school counselors add students to the ACC Fee Waiver List that is submitted to the college.
