High School Students

Applicants currently attending high school are asked to submit their application materials through their Guidance Office. In addition to the college application, high school students should arrange to have an official copy of their transcript
sent directly to the Office of Admissions. Upon graduation, a copy of the high school diploma must be forwarded to the Office of Admissions. You may apply as either a full- or part-time, degree or non-degree seeking student. Please refer to the appropriate degree category above for instructions.

High School Partnership Program

Middlesex Community College has signed agreements with many area high schools which permit eligible high school juniors and seniors to enroll in general fund supported credit courses at no cost. In order to participate in the college's High School Partnership Program, students are expected to have at least a "B" average, be in the top 20 per cent of their class, and have the written recommendation of their principal or designated representative. Students must also submit an admissions application, an official high school transcript, and a High School Partnership application form. High School Partnership applicants are required to take the Basic Skills Assessment. For additional information on the High School Partnership Program, contact the Office of Admissions, 860-343-5719.

College Career Pathways

Middlesex Community College has articulation agreements with several secondary institutions. The College Career Pathways Program enables high school students to enroll in articulated high school academic, business and technology courses for possible college credit, at no cost, upon successful completion of high school courses. College Career Pathways students may earn up to fifteen college credits for their high school courses of study. For additional information about the College Career Pathways Program call 860 - 343 - 5800, ext. 6720.

Other High School/Home Schooled Students

Middlesex will accept for early admission to the College outstanding high school-age students that demonstrate sufficient academic ability and maturity. These students must demonstrate sufficient academic ability as evidenced by high school grades and the results of the College's Basic Skills Assessment (skills assessment is required), and provide a written recommendation by their principal or guidance counselor. A current, official copy of the applicant's high school transcript must accompany the College application. All high school or homeschooled students must have appropriate placement scores, satisfy course prerequisites and meet with the Director of Admissions prior to registering. Students may register for credit courses (according to placement test results), but are considered nondegree seeking. Upon completion of high school, students may move to degree-seeking status.

Interviews

Applicants may request a personal interview at any time by contacting the Office of Admissions (860-343-5719) for an appointment. High school students seeking early admission to Middlesex, all home-schooled students, and individuals interested in certain selective degree programs (see list under Admissions) are required to have an admissions interview as part of the enrollment process.
