Kickstart your college journey while you are still in high school by following these four simple steps. Hover over each number to see what to do at that stage, or click a number to jump straight into that part of the process and get it done.
APPLY
Apply to FSCC by filling out the online application form.
Tip: Select “high school student taking college courses” under the candidacy section of the application.
HS TRANSCRIPT / PLACEMENT TESTS
Your high school counselor will submit your transcript and/or your ACT scores to FSCC HS Partnership contacts. If transcript/ACT scores do not meet prerequisites, students will need to take the Accuplacer placement test (for English, Math, Science, and other select courses).
ENROLL
To enroll, meet with your high school counselor to discuss concurrent and dual credit course options or HS partnership contacts. All HS enrollments will need to be approved by the high school counselor or principal.
PAY
Payments can be made in person, by phone, or online through your myFSCC student portal. Payment plans are also available through your myFSCC student portal.
Under the Excel in CTE Initiative, Kansas high school juniors and seniors can qualify for free college tuition for approved technical courses offered at Kansas technical schools and community colleges.
Concurrent enrollment allows high school students to earn both high school and college credit by taking college-level courses at their high school. These classes are offered during the regular school day and are taught by FSCC-approved high school instructors. Eligible students include those in grades 10–12, as well as 9th-grade students enrolled in a gifted program.
Dual credit enrollment, on the other hand, takes place outside of the high school setting. These courses are either offered online or taught by FSCC faculty on one of the college’s campuses. Students in dual credit courses are held to the same standards and expectations as traditional college students, giving them direct experience with the college learning environment while still completing high school.
