Is it always a good thing to obtain college credit as a high school student?
No, college credit is not always a desirable goal for high school students. If a student obtains too many college credits he may not be eligible for some college scholarships because he is considered an upper classman rather than an entering freshman. The best way to keep all scholarship doors open is to use the CLEP system because college credit awarded by CLEP can be “claimed” or “not claimed” depending upon the college opportunities afforded your student. Please call the office for more details.
