Frequently Asked Questions

Early College Admissions

If I want to participate in the Early College program for more than one semester, do I have to reapply every semester?

No. Once you have been admitted into the Early College Program, you can participate every semester until your high school graduation.

Can I apply online?

No. Early college applications should be mailed, faxed, or hand delivered to:

Office of Admission
Room 105 Main Building
143 Bostwick Ave NE
Grand Rapids, MI 49503
Fax: (616) 234-4107

How is tuition paid?

Most of the public schools pay for their students to attend GRCC through the Early College Program. All homeschooled students are responsible for their own tuition. Refer to GRCC Tuition and Fees link for current rates. Please be sure to discuss class selection with your high school counselor to avoid having to pay your own tuition.

If tuition is not paid by the tuition due date, the student will be dropped from their classes, making those classes available to other students.

How many classes can I take?

All Early College students are limited to taking two classes per semester. Labs are not counted as a separate class.

What steps do I take to attend GRCC after high school graduation?

You must complete a degree-seeking application - an additional application fee is not required. The application is available online, at your high school or at the Enrollment Center.

What if I don't know which classes I should enroll in?

Students must speak to their high school counselor regarding class selection. GRCC academic advising is not offered to Early College students. For course descriptions, please see our Catalog which can be accessed online at www.grcc.edu/catalog. Homeschooled students are also referred to their counselor, most often their parent/guardian.

Can I take any class offered?

No. Early College students are restricted from taking some classes. Please refer to the Restricted Classes page for more information
