High school students may participate in the following programs and, upon completing the coursework, earn college credits documented on an RVCC transcript.
Early College Credits (ECC) Program
High school students in their sophomore, junior, and/or senior year can jumpstart their education by taking RVCC credited courses on the college campus and earn college credits. Students and parents can find more information about the program requirements and next steps by visiting the Early College Credits website.
Concurrent Enrollment Program
The Concurrent Enrollment Program is a partnership between Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) and high schools in Somerset and Hunterdon counties. Eligible students take approved college level level courses at their high school and earn credits that count toward both high school graduation and college credits.
Each participating high school, in collaboration with RVCC, determines which courses are offered through the Concurrent Enrollment Program.
Benefits of Concurrent Enrollment
Students enrolled in the program can:
- Earn transferable college credits while still in high school
- Pay a significantly reduced tuition rate
- Experience rigorous, college level level coursework
- Strengthen their college applications
- Build confidence and preparation for future college or career pathways
College credits earned can be applied toward an RVCC degree or transfer to other colleges and universities in accordance with each institution’s transfer policies.
Eligibility Requirements
To participate, students must:
- Have 3.0 GPA; applicants with a high school recommendation may be considered for exceptions
- Receive High School Counselor Approval
- Complete Concurrent Enrollment Agreement Form
- Meet RVCC Placement or Prerequisites
Students should confirm specific placement or prerequisite requirements with their high school.
