Ô½Ä϶ij¡

Step 1: Apply

• All students must apply to Ô½Ä϶ij¡. This only needs to be done once, so students who have taken College Now courses in the past, do not need to apply again.
• The application is located here: 

Step 2: Register

• Students will register for classes during the term that align with when the class ends. For example, a HST203 class may start in September but end in June. This means the student will register for Ô½Ä϶ij¡'s Spring term (ending in June).
• Students will use the same process as degree-seeking students, navigating the Ô½Ä϶ij¡ Student Portal to select each course.
• Registration takes place at and there are several guides listed below under Resources. Students can also find these at /cn

Step 3: Complete the Required Forms

• Parent/Guardian Permission Form - Required once per student, this form is valid for the remainder of the student's high school career. It is a digital form that can be completed on most smartphones, tablets, etc. Note: The digital form initially asks for a name and email, which can be either the guardian's or the student's. As long as the names of both the student and guardian are on the form, it will be accepted.
• Sophomore Exception Form - Sophomores only! College Now is only open to Juniors and Seniors, but Sophomores can also earn college credit if they have submitted a signed Sophomore Exception Form. 

• - Slides that guide students through the College Now processes and help parents understand how College Now works.
• College Now Parent/Guardian Permission Form - All students must submit a permission form before they can earn college credit.
• College Now Quick Guide - For Students and Parents/Guardians.
• Sophomore Exception Form - College Now is only open to Juniors and Seniors, but Sophomores can also earn college credit if they have submitted a signed Sophomore Exception Form. 

College Now costs $63 per class (2024-25 SY). This means that a student can take WR121Z and HST201 for $126. That's 8 credits (typically over $1000 in tuition) for only $126!

The student is responsible for paying for College Now tuition. Some schools may cover College Now fees, but it is the student's responsibility to confirm this with school counselors and administration.

College Now credit is Ô½Ä϶ij¡ credit, which is transferable to all colleges and universities.  Every college has a right to articulate the credit to fit their academic requirements.  However, Ô½Ä϶ij¡ students do not experience significant challenges transferring our college credit.

Colleges in Oregon and Washington have online guides that students can use to research future transferability.

The following guides do not guarantee transfer.
