Huskins Program
The Huskins Program provides high school students with the opportunity to earn both high school and college credits while in high school by taking college courses taught by Mitchell Community College instructors at the community college level that are specifically scheduled for high school students to enrich their education experience while remaining in high school. There are two categories of Huskins courses: Career Bound & University Bound. Huskins courses are tuition free while enrolled as a high school student. Tuition is free. However, students are responsible for fees (approximately $7.50 per course), purchasing their own textbooks, and transportation to and from class.

To be eligible for Huskins, students must be a junior or senior and be at least 16 years old by the first day of class with a minimum 2.5 GPA, good attendance and a good discipline record. |

Things you need to bring with you on Test Day: The completed Huskins Release Form, your social security number, and a pen or pencil with you to the test site. |
|
On testing day, you will receive your scores and complete your Huskins Application and Registration Form while at MCC. Be prepared to make your course selections by discussing your choices with your parents and guidance counselors before the test day. |

All classes will follow the MCC official calendar with classes beginning mid-August, approximately a week and a half before high school classes start.
Students should register for courses in pairs. MCC ends fall semester before the winter holiday break and starts spring semester in early January; high schools end their fall semester in mid-January. Therefore, if you register for a 1st block course for fall semerter, you should register for a 1st block course for spring semester. If you register for a 4th block course for fall, you should register for a 4th block course for spring. Since most Huskins sections meet only two days per week, students are eligible to take two Huskins 1st block courses and two 4th block courses by taking both a Monday-Wednesday and Tuesday-Thursday combination.
If you have questions, please see the Huskins contact at your school or call Tara Cashion at 704-978-5441.
