What is Secondary Partnerships?

Secondary Partnerships supports early college experiences that help students earn college credit while in high school. Programs include: Career Academy, College Now!, Kickstart Online, Concurrent Enrollment and Gateway to College.

What is the cost of participation?

Nebraska high school students in grades 9-12 are automatically eligible to take credit classes tuition free. This tuition waiver is currently effective through the end of the 2026-27 year.* Students in 9th grade become eligible for the tuition waiver during the Fall quarter. Students are responsible for tools, textbooks, and any other associated course fees. Learn more about the tuition waiver.

The College tuition rate is subject to change without prior notice at the discretion of the Metropolitan Community College Board of Governors.
