There are two ways that you can earn college credit while you're still in high school.
You can take college-level coursework while in high school through a college program your high school offers or through dual enrollment by direct application to a college or eligible institution. In addition, you can earn credit through college-level exams, such as A levels, IB, and AP.
Talk to your high school guidance counselor to find out how university courses fit into your high school schedule and college planning.
