Jump Start
Take college classes while you're still in high school and get high school and college credit.
Jump Start is a Southeastern Community College program through which high school students can earn college credits while still in high school.
What classes can I take?
You can take all kinds of college classes from anatomy to welding and everything in
between. Whether you're aiming for a B.A. at a four-year college or a two-year program
right here at SCC, we've got what you need.
Some classes are offered at SCC, some online, and others are right at your high school.

high school guidance counselor for the complete scoop. If you're ready to enroll
