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
Advising & New Student Initiatives, 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.
If you would like information about attending as a High School
Special Student, please contact the Admissions office at (715) 836-5415.
