Carroll Early Access and Advanced College Experience
A special arrangement with Helena-area high schools enables qualified juniors and seniors to enroll for college credit courses at Carroll while completing their secondary school requirements. Qualified home-schooled students are also welcome to participate in this program. Carroll Early Access program students will enroll for college credit only; as part of a two-year pilot program (Fall 2018 - Spring 2020*), these students will not be charged tuition, but other fees will apply. Advanced College Experience program students will enroll for both college credit and high school credit under dual-credit agreements with local high schools; these students will be charged a per-credit tuition rate, plus applicable fees. While some restrictions apply, the Carroll Early Access and Advanced College Experience programs are open to students with a minimum high school cumulative GPA of 3.25 and approval from their high school counselor and/or parent if the student is homeschooled. Students may register for a maximum of two courses (typically 6-8 credits) per semester. Application forms and further information are available through the Office of Admission.
*Effective Fall 2020, the Carroll Early Access program has been suspended until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
