College in the High School (CiHS)
College in the High School is a program where students earn college credits by taking classes at their high school. The courses offered are part of a typical high school student’s schedule. The college credits available can be applied toward many college or university general undergraduate requirements. Students stay enrolled in their high school; take courses with their high school teachers; elect to have their high school grades applied to a college credited course; and there is no tuition or fees for books, parking, etc.

EWU in the High School is available for freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are no ACT score, SAT score, or GPA requirements. However, some EWU in the HS courses do require math or English placement testing, and some courses have prerequisites.
For more information about which EWU courses are offered at your high school and what the prerequisites are, talk to your counselor.
All classes are taught on school campus during the regular scheduled school day.
There is no cost to students.
High School transcripts will show CiHS and can be requested through the school registrar.
College transcripts must be requested from the school in which the course is offered. (i.e. AP Biology/Biology 101 - request through CWU)
Currently, we are offering 36 credits and working to grow the program for future years.
