High School Students
UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG INDEX

High school students can enroll part-time in Mountain State University classes through one of two options: early admission and the high school scholarship program.

Early Admission
The University admits a limited number of high school students to enroll in courses for credit or audit on a part-time basis during their senior year. To be eligible for such admission, you must have completed the junior year of a college preparatory curriculum with an average grade of B or better.

Your school system may accept credit earned through early admission toward your high school graduation requirements. Once you have graduated from high school, you can apply early admission credit to continued study at the University or transfer it to another institution.

If you are interested in early admission, begin by checking with a guidance counselor or your principal to learn what regulations apply at your school.

To apply for early admission, submit an application for University admission along with an official transcript of your high school credits and a recommendation from your principal or guidance counselor.

High School Scholarship Program
The High School Scholarship Program provides an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to experience a university environment and obtain college credit at no cost for tuition and fees.

Participants are permitted to enroll in a total of 12 hours of coursework and will receive credit for each course taken through the program in which they achieve a grade of C or better. After graduating from high school, students have one year in which to complete 12 semester hours of coursework, paying regular tuition and fees. Once this requirement has been fulfilled, the qualifying grades and credits earned through the High School Scholarship Program will be placed on a transcript.

Students participating in the High School Scholarship Program who choose not to attend Mountain State University after graduation may receive credit for grades earned while in the program by meeting all admission requirements and paying full tuition and fees for all courses taken under the High School Scholarship Program.

The High School Scholarship does not apply to individualized study or program-specific courses. Whether credit earned through the program can be applied to high school graduation requirements depends on the policy of the school or school system. Contact the Office of Enrollment Management for more information.
