High school students can register for any undergraduate lower division courses approved for high school registrations on-campus or online. Self-paced courses are designed for self-motivated adult students with college experience, so this type of online class is not recommended for high school registrations, and thus not discounted.  After a student's 19th birthday, students still in high school are welcome to continue taking classes at the regular tuition rate.

Please review the minimum technical speclifications necessary to successfully study online. Upgrade any parts of your system that are below these minimums before you register for any online classes.
