Starting next year, College of the Canyons is bringing its multitude of programs to the Santa Clarita Valley’s high school district through College Now!

Starting in spring 2017, all juniors and seniors will be able to enroll in a COC course without having to pay tuition fees, or having to leave their respective high schools.

“Participating in College Now! as a junior and senior in high school, maximizes the potential to earn a full academic year worth of college credit,” said Kari Soffa, director of Outreach and School Relations at the college.  “Students can save up to $1,000 in community college tuition, $6,000 in California State University tuition or $13,000 in University of California tuition.”

The William S. Hart Union High School District is trying to help students jumpstart their college careers with the program, which will be offered, for the first time, at seven of the Hart District’s high school campuses.

The following courses, which will be taught by COC professors, will be available to College Now! students:

• Administration of Justice (Bowman)
• Anthropology 220 (Canyon)
• Communications Studies 105 (Golden Valley, Saugus, and West Ranch)
• Psychology 101 (Hart)
• Sociology 101 (Valencia)

The program confers students with concurrent enrollment status, which will allow students to enroll in any degree applicable coursework offered at the Valencia campus, Canyon Country campus or online.

To enroll in a College Now! course, students must submit a college application, complete an online orientation, and submit a College Now! form to the college’s Admissions & Records office.

Registration for spring 2017 College Now! begins Thursday, Jan. 26.
