High School Students
Waubonsee welcomes qualified high school students to take courses and get a head start on college or take part in our summer program. Students who are graduating and plan to take courses after graduation should begin by submitting a New Student Application. Once the application has been processed, students can register online.
Students 16 and Older
Current high school students wishing to take a course while still in high school are permitted to enroll in credit courses for which they have met the prerequisites. Whether taking the course for both high school and college credit (dual credit) or just college credit, students must complete and submit the High School Student Registration and Authorization Form (pdf). If requesting dual credit, a signature from a high school counselor or principal is required. All students under age 16 must also complete the Underage Student Authorization Form. Note that starting this fall, high school students taking a dual credit course at a Waubonsee campus qualify for a 30% tuition discount! Learn more at our dual credit page.
