High schoolers who have earned an A or B in at least one Andrews online class may request permission to take an interactive online 999 section in their senior year. Email precollege@andrews.edu including your full name, and the title of the class, for review and approval prior to enrolling.

  1. Yes if you've actively participated in extra-curricular activities while keeping your GPA above 3.0
  2. Yes, if you enjoy reading, writing, and studying independently, and are good at following detailed instructions on your own.
  3. Yes, if you're self-motivated, meet deadlines, and ask for help if needed.
  4. Yes, if you are able to take less high school courses to free up 9 hours per week for every 3-credit college class.
  5. Yes, if after considering all school tours and vacation dates you have a plan to meet all college class deadlines and meeting requirements, if any.

High school students can register for any undergraduate lower division courses approved for high school registrations on-campus or online. Self-paced courses are designed for self-motivated adult students with college experience, so this type of online class is not recommended for high school registrations, and thus not discounted.  After a student's 19th birthday, students still in high school are welcome to continue taking classes at the regular tuition rate.

Please review the minimum technical speclifications necessary to successfully study online. Upgrade any parts of your system that are below these minimums before you register for any online classes.
