Juniors and Seniors, did you know you can attend Arapahoe Community College (ACC) while still in high school? It’s true! Under a State program called the Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Act. The “Act” allows you the opportunity to earn college credits before you even graduate from high school. You can also use ACC classes to fulfill high school requirements.

1. Obtain the “State Wide Agreement Between Colorado School District and a Colorado College” form.
2. You and your parents will complete Sections A & D on this form.
3. Meet with your high school counselor to determine what classes to take; your counselor will complete Section B and forward the form to your school district for approval.
4. Complete an Arapahoe Community College Application for Admissions form.
