Early College - Ready to get started

Early College/Expanded Options can give you a jump start on your college program! Completing college courses at Lane before you graduate with your high school diploma or GED, will allow you to register for future terms before new students.  

Curious what you can take? As long as you meet the prerequisites and the class fits your schedule, you can take it! However, due to changes in federal financial aid regulations, it's important to plan your classes carefully. Before you start classes, you'll meet with the High School Connections advisor, Brenda—she'll help make sure the classes will work for you!
