The High School Concurrent Program (HSCP) is designed for eligible high school students who would like to challenge themselves by taking a college-level course in a specific subject area and/or enhance their knowledge on a particular subject. The benefits of enrolling in the program include receiving university credit, free bus transit (Humboldt County), library access, free admission to all HSU sporting games, and discounts throughout the community.
High school students who are California residents and have completed their sophomore year of college-preparatory courses with a 3.0 or higher grade point average may enroll in up to two courses per academic school year at Humboldt State University; additionally, up to two more courses may be taken during summer term. Courses must be at a level beyond what is available at the high school and would not include courses required for high school graduation or eligibility for admission to UC or CSU, unless otherwise approved. In order to register, students must obtain the approval signature of their high school principal, HSU course instructor, and academic department. Check the Faculty & Staff Directory for contact information. Enrollment is limited, on a space-available basis, to courses appearing in the semester's Schedule of Courses. Classes available for concurrent enrollment are normally limited to 100-299 course designations, and students are expected to meet established prerequisites for courses (if applicable).
