Leodis V. McDaniel High School
High school students have the opportunity to take college course work and earn college credit through High School Connections programs offered through CCC and their high school. Below are the programs available at your high school as well as more information about how to get started.
All students participating in High School Connections programming must have a CCC account. Students can complete the appropriate application on the registration page to create an account prior to registering for college credit.
Advanced College Credit (ACC)
ACC courses are college classes taught at the high school by approved high school instructors. Students can earn CCC credit for $10 per credit, and qualifying students may have fees waived through their high school counselor. Students should read the ACC Student Handbook prior to registration, to learn more about the ACC program.
The ACC program is opt-in, meaning students must register for their ACC courses by the registration deadlines each term. Registration instructions can be found on the ACC registration page. To view the ACC courses at your high school and when they register, visit the ACC course list page.
