In collaboration with BAL and the Department of Education, Hostos Community College has designed and established an integrated academic program with comprehensive support services for high school students.  All students participate for free.

 

To cultivate the college experience, classes area held on the Hostos campus. Students enroll in a Hostos Community College course are given a Hostos Community College ID card and a Blackboard and Webmail account. Students have access to many of the facilities at the college including the library, computer labs, tutoring center, and dining hall. College Now students even frame the college experience with formal orientations and support services specially designed for the high school level.

College Now courses and workshops are taught by college faculty. Unless otherwise indicated, College Now courses are exclusively for high school students. Students can only take one course each semester. Enrollment in a college course is a serious commitment but teaches our students about time management and the higher level of difficulty compared to high school courses.

 

In most cases, College Now credits transfer directly within the CUNY system. Credits can also usually be transferred to other colleges - even those outside the CUNY system.

 

Congratulations to the following High School Seniors for taking College courses through the College Now program. Now that’s going above and beyond!
