Start the High School Plus One Program

Get started with our step-by-step admission and enrollment guide.

High School Plus One is now offered to all Oklahoma high school juniors and seniors with both in-person and fully online options.

Students can start college in high school and earn up to one year or 31 credit hours of transferable college credit from Oklahoma’s third largest college while completing a high school diploma. Classes are taught by TCC faculty and are available in multiple formats including online, online live, and in person at TCC campuses, high schools, and other off-campus sites.

How Does it work?

Plus-One students start college in the Fall of their junior year and attend college classes during the regular school year (summers are not required). By the end of their senior year, participating students will have completed most of the Oklahoma-required general education credits that transfer to any state school and many area colleges and universities.

No online fees on courses reserved for high school students, which are courses with a section number starting with a "6", also known as 600-section classes.
Free tuition for 30 credit hours of the total 31 earned college hours. That’s a year of college for just over $100 in tuition.
Your credits will transfer to public colleges and universities across Oklahoma as well as many private and regional institutions.

For virtual students, some courses may require a proctored exam. A proctored exam uses an authorized, neutral, party to ensure the identity of the test taker and the integrity of the test taking environment. We have multiple ways for our virtual students to complete proctored exams. Almost all virtual courses that use proctored exams integrate the exam right into Blackboard with Respondus, along with all of your other course assignments. If a course does not use blackboard for it's exams there multiple options for test proctoring to chose form.
