ITINERIS EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

• High School Graduation #1 Priority• College & Career Readiness Focus• A pathway for every individual’s needs, abilities, and

motivation• Pathways differ in the amount of college credit earned.

Emphasis is placed on quality of credits earned, NOT quantity! The path to an associate degree is not a race.

• Colleges are more interested in a student who earns 20 college credits with a 3.8 high school GPA than a student who earns 62 college credits with a 2.8 high school GPA

ITINERIS Pathways

1. High School Graduation & College Readiness (appx. 10-20 college credits)

2. High School Graduation & Letter of Completion (appx. 34 college credits)

3. High School Graduation & A.S. Degree (appx. 62 college credits and 2 summers)

4. High School Graduation, A.S. Degree, and New Century Scholarship (appx. 62 credits, 2 summers, completed by H.S. graduation with 3.0 college GPA and 3.5 H.S. GPA)
