Completing college-level work while still in high school can save you time and money. Here are three ways that high school students can get credit for prior learning once at WCTC:
Advanced Standing
If your high school and WCTC have an existing Advanced Standing agreement, you may be able to receive college credit. Review the list of state-approved Advanced Standing courses. You must earn a “B” or better to receive credit.

Transcripted Credit
Transcripted credit agreements allow you to take WCTC courses at your high school and earn both WCTC transcripted credit and high school credit. Review the list of state-approved transcripted credit courses.
- The credit is applied to your academic record. It can be used toward a WCTC program and evaluated for transfer by a four-year college.
- If you are enrolled in a WCTC high school transcripted credit course, you can request a waiver of the WCTC application fee. Refunds will not be given if you have already paid the fee.
