Pre-College/Youth Programs
High School Early Entry
Registration Information
Before fall term, representatives from the University will organize an orientation meeting for the students (and their parents) who have been recommended by the high schools for this program. The meeting provides participants with information about the Early Entry Program and about university general education requirements. Students receive university academic advising at this meeting, make final course selections and register for courses.
For winter and spring terms, students participating in the program receive advice and information from their high school counselors about selecting courses and registering for classes. High school counselors are provided with registration forms and the SOU schedule of classes for the ensuing term. The ECP office will be open one evening each term from 4pm - 6pm to preregister and advise students for the upcoming term. Preregistration is very important in order to get the classes the student desires. When registering for a class, ALWAYS identify yourself as an Early Entry Student. Failure to do so may result in being incorrectly billed.
Tuition and Billing
The Fee for the Early Enrollment Program is $50 per credit (significantly lower than tuition paid by regularly admitted SOU students). Early Entry Students are responsible for additional course fees for specific classes (e.g. art, music, etc.); refer to the SOU schedule of classes for these fees. Bills are mailed before the term begins. All students, regardless of when they register, are responsible for paying their tuition by the first Friday of each term. Late fees, revolving charge fee, and interest will be assessed on any account balances existing after the deadline published in the SOU schedule of classes. Students should check the listing of dates in the SOU schedule of classes. These dates can now be accessed via the academic calendar.
