High School Students

CCSN offers special programs for qualified high school

students. For some of the programs, high school students

earn both high school and college credit simultaneously.

High school students should check with their school coun-

selors regarding completion of Dual Enrollment High

School Authorization forms necessary for enrollment in

some programs. Unless students are 18 years old, parental

permission is required for all programs. Many programs

require that students pay college tuition. Special programs

for high school students include:

Community College High School- This unique program

gives high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to

attend high school on a college campus. Students also take

college classes for which they receive dual credit.

Dual Credit- High school juniors and seniors may enroll in

CCSN courses and receive both college and high school

credit if the college course they take is not taught at their

high school.

Early Studies- High school juniors and seniors may enroll

in courses at CCSN and receive college credit.

Jump-Start- is a CCSD-CCSN partnership offering high

school students a reduced fee to enroll in college-level

classes, and get a head start on their college careers.

Classes are offered at selected high school campuses by

CCSD high school instructors who are “certified" by

CCSN departments.

Learning and Earning Program- This program is a direct

service drop-out prevention and intervention program.

Students are referred by their high school counselors during

11th or 12th grade and participate in counseling, mentoring,

job skills development, job placement, tutoring sessions and

community referrals. The goal of the program is to give

Clark County School District students, who are in jeopardy

of not graduating with their peers, the opportunity to

improve their academic status.

Step-Up Program- Student Teacher Enlistment Program

Clark County Education Association Community

Foundation, Clark County School District and CCSN.

STEP-UP provides tuition and books to high school partic

pants who commit to teaching in Clark County public

schools after graduation.

Tech Prep- This program allows students to earn college

credit for technical and occupational course work complet-

ed in high school. High school juniors and seniors, who

earn an “A" or “B" in a Tech Prep class, can receive CCSN

credit upon completion of the course. Students must com-

plete a special CCSN Tech Prep registration form and pay a

fee of $10.00 per course.

YES – Your Educational Success- A partnership between

the Clark County School District and CCSN, creating a

restricted class designed to help learning Disable high

school seniors transition from high school to the post-sec-

ondary Educational setting of their choice.

Transfer Student

Previous College or University Course Work- Students

from accredited institutions of higher education ordinarily

will be granted credit for work completed which is equiva-

lent to courses offered at CCSN. The accreditation of the

institution and the listing published in the AACRAO

Transfer Credit Practices for the year in which the applicant

attended a specific institution govern the acceptance of

transfer credit. The number of credits awarded will be deter-

mined by the college rating and the guidelines that follow:

• The Office of the Registrar evaluates transcripts from

other institutions upon request and determines which

credits may be applied towards a CCSN degree or

certificate.

• Students must have an official transcript mailed to the

Office of the Registrar.

• After the student has verified that his or her transcript

has arrived in the Office of the Registrar, he or she

must fill out a Request for Transfer Credit Evaluation

Form and submit that to the Office of the Registrar.

• To meet graduation requirements, a transfer student

must complete the appropriate 15 credit hours in resi-

dence for a degree or certificate.

• The College will also accept a maximum of 16 credits

from non-traditional sources.

• A student must take the appropriate 15 credit hours in

residence in his or her major occupational area for an

Associate of Applied Science degree or a Certificate of

Achievement.
