College Now
Why wait to earn college credit when you have excellent, qualified instructors at your own high school? College Now is a dual credit/dual enrollment program that, through the coordination of Columbia Gorge Community College and local high schools, offers high school students the opportunity to earn transferable college credits while taking approved high school classes. These courses are designed to award dual credit (high school and post-secondary) for courses taken at the local high school. High school instructors meet college faculty qualifications and students’ skills must be appropriate to the college-level work.
Current Classes
All listed classes are expected to run but may be canceled for various reasons. Students will not be charged College Now fees for any canceled classes. Confirmed classes (see the Confirmed tab below) are rarely canceled.
