College in High Schools
College in the High Schools (also known as concurrent enrollment) is a partnership program between Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College and participating high schools in Minnesota. The program delivers college-level courses to qualified high school students. College in the High Schools students study the same curriculum as on-campus students at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. Students successfully completing a College in the High Schools course receive Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College academic credit.

Credits earned through the College in the High Schools program are accredited and transfer to other Minnesota colleges and universities. Acceptance of transfer credits by private and out-of-state colleges and universities is always guided by the policies of the postsecondary institution accepting the credits. Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College credits have a very successful transfer history.

Juniors and seniors in high school can apply to take courses. To qualify, juniors need to have a 3.0 grade point average or rank in the upper one-third of their class; seniors need to have a 2.5 grade point average or rank in the upper one-half of their class. Students also need to take the appropriate college placement test and score at or above the minimum cut-off score.

College in the High Schools courses are taught by qualified high school teachers who work with a college-appointed mentor. Teachers must have completed significant postsecondary course work in the field of instruction and demonstrated excellence in teaching high school students. College mentors work with the high school instructors to ensure that the high school course covers the curriculum required by the college. Mentors are required to maintain contact with the high school instructors through site visits, e-mail, and by telephone. High schools participating in the program for the first time visit the college campus to meet with administration, faculty, staff, mentors, and tour the campus.

The College in the High Schools Program at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is a highly successful program that attracts schools throughout the state of Minnesota. It is a winning experience for students, high schools, instructors, and Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College for the following reasons:

• There is no direct cost to the high school students for their credits, and they have an opportunity to develop their college-level skills during high school.
• High school instructors have the opportunity to connect with other professionals in their field and receive professional benefits of teaching a college-level course.
• School districts are able to attract and retain students in their districts and keep students at the high school campus.
• Students may eventually work toward a degree at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College because they have already earned Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College credits.
• International students attending a United States high school through an exchange program or other non-permanent status are not eligible to enroll in College in the High School courses for college credit.
