What Excel in CTE does for Kansas Juniors and Seniors in High School
In an effort to jump start the workforce, Kansas' new Career and Technical Education Act (Excel in CTE) allows Highland Community College to enroll high school Juniors and Seniors in Technical Education programs and selected courses without charging tuition. That's right HCC is able to provide FREE TUITION for technical programs and some classes. Beyond that, HCC has chosen to WAIVE FEES for all technical programs and Excel in CTE courses! In addition, book rental for technical programs offered at the Technical Center and the Western Center is FREE!
Students taking Excel in CTE courses outside of a technical program in face-to-face, IDL, online, or hybrid formats will be charged $18 per credit hour for book rental. Some of these courses require consumable items (workbook, access code, software, etc.). These charges are the responsibility of the student and are applied to the student account per course when applicable.
On this page, we will keep you updated on courses and programs that are available each semester at Highland. If you play your cards right, it's possible to graduate from high school with not only a diploma but a technical certification as well! Enrollment and transfer information may be found below.

Do my classes transfer to other colleges?
The Kansas Board of Regents has established a Transfer and Articulation guide listing courses that seamlessly transfer from community colleges to any of the state supported colleges and universities governed by the Board of Regents. Click here to review those course guides.
HCC has also articulated transfer with area colleges and universities. To see HCC's transfer guide, please click here.
