Program Structure and Schedule

College Now is an accelerated program that enables motivated students to earn both a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts (AA) degree from Harper College by the end of their senior year. Graduates complete two years of transferable college credit, saving time and money.

Junior year

Students begin their day at Harper College, taking college-level courses in the morning. In the afternoon, they return to their high school to complete required classes and participate in activities. This blended schedule supports progress toward high school graduation, introduces students to the college experience, and ensures continued access to high school support services.

Senior year

Students take all required classes on the Harper College campus. While fully immersed in college coursework, they still have access to their high school’s support services and may continue participating in extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, and social events. This approach allows students to remain connected to their high school community while gaining the full benefits of a college environment.
