Congratulations for choosing to start your college career while still in high school. There a number of different ways you can earn college credits.

The College Career Pathways (CCP) Advantage
CCP provides an opportunity for career exploration while earning free college credits in high school.

High School Partnership Program (HSP) 
If you are a high school junior or senior student from a participating HSP school, you can take college courses (fall and spring) – free of charge. QVCC waives the tuition and fees for enrolled HSP students. You will be responsible for the cost of books and supplies for the classes, as well as for transportation.

If you demonstrate sufficient academic ability and maturity, you may be considered for enrollment in credit courses on a full-paying basis.

Running Start
This program is designed to allow a senior in high school to finish their high school graduation requirements through enrollment in college courses at QVCC.
