What can an above average high school senior do for a challenge after already fulfilling most requirements for high school graduation by the end of junior year? By senior year, many students’ only remaining graduation requirements are 12th grade English, social studies, and physical education. Students might choose Fulton-Montgomery Community College’s Early Admission Program and begin college while still in high school.
Early admission students receive high school and college credit simultaneously. The purpose of early admission is to allow advanced high school seniors who have completed the majority of their high school requirements the opportunity to challenge themselves and start college early.
To be eligible for the Early Admissions program, the student must rank within the top half of their graduating class and be recommended by their Guidance Counselor or high school Principal to qualify. Students not ranked in the top half of their graduating class but otherwise in good standing may take credit bearing courses for exploration.
