Concurrent enrollment (college classes while in high school) is available to juniors and seniors with tuition paid by the Oklahoma State Regents for seniors on 18 hours and NWOSU will waive tuition on 6 hours for juniors. Students pay only the class fees and for books. Check with the registrar's office at the college you choose to see how much the fees are. Students have to have at least a 19 in reading and a 19 in any subject area they wish to take classes in on their ACT. That's one more reason it's important for students to begin taking their ACT. I recommend once toward the end of the year their freshman and sophomore years and 2-4 times their junior and senior year. Get signed up at actstudent.org. Mrs. Hopper can help you to see if you qualify to take concurrent classes and help you get signed up.
Check out Oklahoma's Promise for your students in grades 8-10 at https://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/. It is a tuition payment program for qualifying students whose family has an adjusted gross income of $55,000 or less.
