Start College Now

The Wisconsin Technical College System allows Lincoln High School juniors and seniors who meet certain requirements to take post-secondary courses at a Wisconsin Technical College.  Approved courses count toward high school graduation and college credit.

The program opens the door to greater learning opportunities for motivated students considering a technical career, wishing to begin college early, or preparing themselves to enter the workforce immediately after high school graduation.

Under "Start College Now", a student does not pay for a college course if the school board determines the course qualifies for high school credit and is not comparable to a course already offered in the school district. If approved by the the school board, the student can receive both high school and college credit upon successful completion of the course.
