No Cost to You
At University College, high school students can enroll in ACN courses that range from liberal arts, justice studies, community development, EMT Basic, to core classes like math and writing. Along with tuition, ACN pays for fees, books, and any other course materials you may need.
Begin Building a College Transcript
You can take up to two courses per school semester (one in the summer). You will have the potential to graduate high school with more than a semester's worth of college credits if you take two courses each semester.
