ALLEN COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

A Partnership

Allen County Community College and USD 434 have formed a partnership to provide Santa Fe Trail students with educational options. Concurrent enrollment/dual credit courses are offered to juniors and seniors during the day at Santa Fe Trail High School if they meet Allen County requirements on the ACT or ASSET test.

Dual Credits

Both college and high school credits can be earned by taking Allen County classes. Only juniors and seniors are eligible to enroll in these classes. All other students must have permission from Allen County and school administration. Students should also understand he/she will be paying tuition at $68.00 per credit hour if they want college credit. However, if they meet the requirements, students can also enroll for non-credit but must pay a fee per credit hour for book rental and have principal approval prior to the second week of classes.
