High School Concurrent
Many states offer programs in which a student can complete high school requirements by completing college course work. As long as the student has received the college credit from a regionally accredited institution, then that credit is transferable to UCCS. The student will need to request official transcripts sent from any college/university attended to the Office of Admissions at UCCS to get that credit transferred.

In class college credit
Many schools will offer a course taught on the high school campus for college credit. Usually the student will pay the sponsoring college/university to receive the college credit from the course even though the course is taught on the high school campus by the high school teacher. As long as the student has received the college credit from a regionally accredited institution, then that credit is transferable to UCCS. The student will need to request an official transcript be sent from the sponsoring college/university to the Office of Admissions at UCCS to get that credit transferred.

Pre-Collegiate Programs
Many colleges/universities offer some sort of pre-collegiate program where a student may take a course or two over the summers preceding entrance to a college/university. As long as the student has received the college credit from a regionally accredited institution, then that credit is transferable to UCCS. The student will need to request an official transcript be sent from the sponsoring college/university to the Office of Admissions at UCCS to get that credit transferred.
