Frequently asked questions
- Will the college credits I earn transfer?
Credits earned through Early College appear on an official CCC transcript. Many courses transfer to Arizona’s public universities and may also transfer to other colleges and universities. Because transfer requirements vary by institution and program, students should check with their intended college for specific requirements.
- Do I have to come to a CCC campus to participate?
No. Most Early College courses are offered at participating high schools during the regular school day, allowing students to earn college credit without traveling to a CCC campus.
- How much does Early College cost?
Early College courses are offered at no tuition cost to eligible Coconino County students, making it an affordable way to begin earning college credit while still in high school.
- Am I ready for a college course while I'm still in high school?
Many students are. Early College courses are designed for motivated students who want to challenge themselves academically and get a head start on college. Your high school counselor can help you determine whether Early College is a good fit for your goals and schedule.
