After I graduate high school will I be considered
an incoming freshman or a continuing student?
It's up to you. There are some wonderful scholarship opportunities
for incoming freshman that Early College students are eligible
for once they graduate from high school. Hence, many students
opt to be considered as an incoming freshman. There are, however,
many excellent opportunities for continuing students. Talk to
our advisors if you're having trouble deciding.

Do my Early College credits count toward
high school graduation?
Usually, yes. Ultimately it is up to the school which credits
are accepted and which credits are not. Typically 3 credits at
WSU equal one credit (or one year) at the high school level. See
the equivalency page for more detail.

How many classes should I sign up for?
You may take a full university schedule of 12 credit hours or
more, or you may combine a few classes at your high school with
one or two university classes per semester. You may enroll in
any of the courses at WSU that build on your academic background,
as long as you meet the prerequisites. These courses will fulfill
requirements for both high school and university graduation and
are transferable to other colleges and universities.

How do I transfer my credit to another
university?
All of your college credit can be transferred to other public
universities/colleges within Utah. You will need to check with
other private schools or schools in other states about which
credits they will accept.
You can transfer your credit by submitting a written
request (faxed or mailed) to the
records department.
