High School Special Students

High-potential junior and senior high school students may enroll as special students at the University.  PRIOR TO THE FIRST TIME YOU ENROLL AT THE UNIVERSITY, you must submit a completed enrollment form for Youth Options/High School Specials, (available from your high school guidance counselor), and an official high school transcript.*  All documents must be submitted by May 1 for the Summer Session, August 1 for the Fall Semester, and December 1 for the Spring Semester.

When you are admitted, you will be directed to the Academic Advising & Testing Office, Schofield Hall 226, to meet with an adviser who will help you select courses and give you a PAC (Personal Advising Code), which you will need to register.  You will need a PAC each term that you enroll as a high school special.

Prior to the SECOND time you enroll as a high school special at the University and in subsequent semesters, you need only to submit a Youth Options/High School Specials enrollment form and an official high school transcript.*

NOTE: All special students, including high school specials, are limited to six credits (or two courses if credits exceed six) per semester and must meet the academic standards of the University (see Academic Standing and Progress section of the University catalogue).

Youth Options:
The Youth Options is available to high school juniors and seniors. Contact your high school counselor for procedures and practices.

* In addition to the requirements listed above, if you are enrolling as a Youth Options student, you must submit the Youth Options enrollment form to your School Board before each semester you intend to enroll at the University.
