EARLY COLLEGE STUDENT - Taking college classes while in high school

I’m a high school student entering grades 9, 10, 11 or 12 with a 3.0 or higher GPA and I want to take college classes while I am still in high school. We offer two options:

Take classes at RVCC's Branchburg campus (Early College)

 

1) APPLY TO RVCC & SELECT CLASS

2) REGISTER FOR CLASSES

  • Complete the Early College Registration Form
    You will need to attach the following documents with the Registration Form
    • Submit unofficial high school transcript with GPA of 3.0 or higher
    • If you are interested in taking an English, Foreign Language or Mathematics course or a course that requires a pre-requisite, you will need to submit proof of exemptions and/or the pre-requisite requirement.
    • Timeline awareness:
      • The completed form along with all signatures must be received in Admissions in order to be processed prior to the start of the semester. NOTE: Courses will be registered based on availability upon receipt of the Registration Form.
  • Request proof of immunization from your physician

3) PAY TUITION

Pay all tuition and fees by required dates.

Take RVCC college classes at my high school (Concurrent Enrollment)

 

1) Meet with your high school counselor

Speak with your high school to determine what concurrent enrollment courses are offered at your high school and the qualifications needed to enroll.

2) Apply to RVCC and Get Your G#

Students should apply online to the College as an Early Admit High School Student (Non-Degree Seeking). Be sure to use a personal email address when signing up. 

Click HERE for the Admissions Application (select Sign Up to begin a new application).
 

3) English and Math

For English and Math courses (or courses that require an English or Math prerequisite), students will need to submit proof of exemptions or complete Accuplacer testing. For Accuplacer English testing, students much attain an E4 (English Composition I w/ recommended Workshop) or E5 (English Composition I) to place into the English courses or courses with an English prerequisite. Please speak with your high school counselor to determine if you will need to submit placement scores or complete Accuplacer testing. 
 

4) Pay for the Course(s)

The cost is $240* per course. There are two ways to pay:

  • Online by visiting https://www.raritanval.edu/paying-for-college/pay-tuition-now (select Student Account Payment). Take a screenshot of the receipt and send it to the high school counselor once completed. Students do not have to be registered for the course to complete payment through this portal. You must enter the RV Student ID which is your G number. 
  • Checks should be made payable to RVC College and include your G#, First Name and Last Name. Checks should be given to your high school counselor.

5) Document Submission and Registration

The high school will then provide the RVCC K-12 Partnerships with the students transcripts, test scores if applicable, parent/guardian consent forms and check/confirmation of payment for review. The K-12 department will then register eligible students for the assigned course and let the high school know when the students are registered. Students cannot register for concurrent enrollment classes on their own.  

The high school will be the primary point of contact for students throughout the process so please don't hesitate to reach out to them for assistance.
