JumpStart!

FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
Get a “Jump” on the rest of the crowd. Start your college education while still in high school. Kenai Peninsula College – University of Alaska Anchorage has a way to help you get going NOW!

JUMP START! Allows you to take up to six (6) college credits each semester of your senior year. That’s a possible 12 semester credits on you college transcript before you are out of high school. These credits can start you toward a college degree, give you a new skill or help you make decisions for life after high school. The best part, it’s CHEAP (oops, we mean INEXPENSIVE)!!! You pay just $35 per credit, plus textbooks, fees and transportation costs.
