Calhoun Community College offers qualified high school students the opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. This program differs from Dual Enrollment in that participating students receive college credit only; no high school credit is awarded for course taken under the Accelerated High School program. Accelerated High School students are not eligible for Dual Enrollment Scholarship funding.
- The student must have successfully completed the 10th grade;

- In addition to the approval form, the student must provide an official high school transcript;
- The student must provide qualifying ACT, SAT or placement scores;
