High School Connections

Providing dual-credit opportunities to give students a head start on college

Our programs

High School Connections helps you get a head start on college by offering clear pathways to earn college credit through dual-credit, and transition confidently to Lane and beyond. We partner with schools, students, and families to make college more accessible, affordable, and achievable for you.

College Now

Earn free college credit and high school credit at the same time
  • Classes are held at the student's high school.
  • Students can earn both high school and college credits (dual credit) in the same class.
  • Classes are offered tuition free and fee free.

Early College

Take college-level courses at Lane
  • Opportunity for students to take courses not available at their high school for college credit.
  • Some school districts will help their students pay for courses located at Lane CC campuses.
  • Almost all Lane CC courses are available and students can get a head start or even finish certificates before they graduate from high school.

Also consider RTEC 101, a free college course to help transition to college. Learn about: degrees, certificates, and transfer pathways; financial Aid and scholarships, navigating college systems and resources, and get first-term advising.
