High school students may participate in the following programs and, upon completing the coursework, earn college credits documented on an RVCC transcript.
High School Early Credits Program
If you are a high school sophomore, junior, or senior, you can jump-start your college education by earning early college credits at RVCC. To enroll in college level courses at RVCC’s Branchburg campus, you must complete an RVCC application and an Early Credit Registration Form, have a minimum of a 3.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) and obtain approval from your parents. For forms and more information, please refer to the College’s website or the RVCC Admissions Office at (908) 526-1200, option 2.
Concurrent Enrollment Program
The Concurrent Enrollment Program is a partnership between Raritan Valley Community College and high schools in Somerset and Hunterdon counties. This program is largely offered to high school juniors and seniors who have appropriate academic requirements to take courses with their local high school and earn academic credit that simultaneously fulfills high school graduation requirements. Each high school, in conjunction with RVCC, determines the course(s) that will be offered through the Concurrent Enrollment Program.
Students who participate in the Concurrent Enrollment Program earn college credits, receive significantly reduced tuition rate, enhance their opportunities for challenging work, set themselves apart from other college applicants, and prepare for their future college education or career. College credits earned can be applied toward RVCC degree or may be transferred to other colleges and universities in accordance with the receiving colleges’ transfer policies.
In order to participate in the Concurrent Enrollment Program, a student must have at least a B average, parental consent, guidance counselor approval, and satisfy RVCC placement guidelines if enrolling in an English, math, or world language course (or a course requiring these as a prerequisite). The placement test may be waived for certain courses if a student has received appropriate scores on the SAT, ACT or NJSLA Algebra II Test. Students should confirm placement guidelines with their high school.
Please contact the high school for further information about Concurrent Enrollment Program course offerings, eligibility requirements, and other registration details. Students and familes may also contact k-12partnerships@raritanval.edu for additional information.
