College in the High School

 

In partnership with local colleges and universities, Northgate High School is excited to offer eligible high school students an opportunity to earn college credits. Northgate high school courses have been analyzed to ensure that Northgate High School students will have the opportunity to engage in a fully enriched curriculum that prepares them for college and career success. 

Students interested in earning dual enrollment credit should register for Northgate’s College in High School (CIHS) program courses. Each course has its own set of eligibility guidelines to ensure that students are prepared for the rigorous expectations of college-level work. Northgate instructors will provide enrollment information to students during spring registration or at the start of each course. 

For some courses, there will be fees for tuition in order to earn credits. Costs cover all registration fees and access to technology and academic support resources. The cost of each course is set annually by each college or university. At times, sponsorship is available through the district. You can apply for sponsorship at https://bit.ly/CIHSSponsorship. Discounted pricing for Northgate High School students is available only to students enrolled in the CIHS program and for classes taught onsite at Northgate. These courses earn credits that can be transferred to most colleges and universities across the country.

The relationship between Northgate School District and local colleges and universities offers exceptional access to top-notch college-level academics, and it is our hope that all Northgate High School students will take advantage of this exciting opportunity! 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Caroline Johns
