| JumpStart!
FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
Get a “Jump” on the rest of the crowd. Start
your college education while still in high school. Kenai
Peninsula College – University of Alaska Anchorage
has a way to help you get going NOW!
JUMP START! Allows you to take up to six (6) college credits per semester, starting the summer after your junior year. That’s a possible 18 semester credits on your college transcript before you are out of high school. These credits can start you toward a college degree, give you a new skill or help you make decisions for life after high school. The best part, it’s CHEAP (oops, we mean INEXPENSIVE)!!! You pay just $35 per credit, plus textbooks, fees and transportation costs.
This terrific deal is brought to you by KPC/UAA and the
Kenai Peninsula Borough. We want YOU to have access to classes
not offered at your high school AND we want you to get to
know us. Once you’ve been to KPC, we think you’ll
be back. We offer great instructors, a personal environment,
and transferable university course credits.
KPC makes it easy to get a JUMP START! on college. So how
do you get this wonderful deal?
- Be a senior in high school.
- Fill out
your part of the form.
- Take the form to your high school counselor,
principal and a parent for signatures. (Students participating
in home-school programs, must provide documentation verifying
12th grade level status. Signature of home-school coordinator
in addition to parent would be helpful, but not required.)
- Take the ACCUPLACER placement test at
KPC’s Learning Center. If you have taken the SAT
or ACT, you may use those scores instead.
- Attend mandatory
Underage New Student Orientation (with your completed
Jumpstart form and a copy of your placement test scores)
to register for class.
All signatures required at the time of
registration.
Students enrolled for college credit are responsible for
official registration, attendance and add/drop procedures.
The college reserves the right to limit courses available
to the JUMP START! program.
