College in the High School FAQ
College in the High School through WVC is an opportunity for high school students to earn college credit while still in high school. Students who complete articulated courses taught at their high school by qualified high school faculty providing the same rigor and content as an on-campus college class are eligible to receive WVC credit..
Students can earn WVC credit in:
- University transfer courses that count toward a bachelor’s degree in subject areas such as Literature, Composition, Math, Science, History, Psychology, and more.
- Career & Technical Education courses which lead to an associate degree or certificate in one of our many career-focused degrees.

- Saves money by receiving free/reduced tuition college credit and reducing the amount of time after high school to complete a college degree.
- WVC credits are transferable to all college/universities within the state and many other institutions outside of the state.
- Students entering the military may earn a higher rank with earned college credit.
- Provides access to WVC student support services such as WVCportal, ID cards, use of WVC library and tutoring services.

Many school districts qualify for state funding to help cover the cost for CHS courses.
However, if your district does not have access to these funds, you will be subject
to paying a deeply discounted tuition charge. All CHS courses are $35 per credit
hour. This is deeply discounted from the usual $109 per credit hour. Tuition for one
course is $175, and is assessed a $5 administrative fee. Total cost for one course
is $180.
