Students at Welcome Back Bash

EXPLORE AND EARN

Start College Now, formerly known as Youth Options, allows public high school juniors and seniors who meet certain requirements to take courses at CVTC. Approved courses may count toward high school graduation and will count toward college credit. The school board pays for any approved course (including tuition, books, and fees) taken for high school credit that is not comparable to a course offered in the school district. Students can register for a course with other CVTC students if a seat is available at registration.
