Early College – High School provides high school students the opportunity to earn RVCC credits for courses taken as part of their regular high school schedule. College credits may be used towards completion of a degree or certificate at RVCC. The credits may also be transferred to other CCSNH campuses as well as universities and colleges throughout the country. (Please note that the determination of transfer credit is at the discretion of the receiving institution.) Early College – High School students realize significant advantages: college credit is awarded in high school, tuition costs are reduced ($150 per course registration), time to complete higher education requirements is reduced, and confidence in the transition to college is increased. High school graduates considering RVCC are encouraged to enroll within one year to ensure that their credits will be accepted into a current program.
Early College - RVCC is dual enrollment program that provides high school students (Ages 15-21) the opportunity to take RVCC courses at all three of our locations as well as online. Rising sophomores can begin this program the summer following their freshman year and seniors can continue through the summer following graduation. Tuition and fees are discounted by 50%. In many cases students can earn college credits that also meet high school graduation requirements. Seniors in high school may also apply for conditional early admissions to some programs at RVCC.
New Hampshire high school students taking courses through RVCC Early College programs are allowed two free courses per academic year through the NH Early College Scholarship.
