Begin Your College Education in High School!

The Parallel Enrollment Program (PEP) is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to enroll in courses at the Community College of Baltimore County while they are still in high school.

PEP advantages:

• Complete college credits while still in high school
• Save tuition dollars
• Experience college life first hand
• Save money while working on your CCBC associate degree or get a head start at another college or university by transferring your college credits

PEP is for students who:

• Are high school juniors or seniors
• Obtain written approval from a school official
• Meet CCBC enrollment requirements

How to get started:

• Talk about PEP with your parents and your school counselor to determine whether PEP is right for you
• Complete the CCBC Application for Admission
• Submit the Early Admissions Consent Form to a CCBC Admissions Office
• Follow procedures for placement testing
• Meet with an academic advisor to discuss placement test results and class selection

Costs

PEP students who are Baltimore County residents pay one half of CCBC's in-county tuition rate. Tuition and fees are subject to change.

Students are responsible for all applicable fees and the purchase of required course materials, including books.
