High School Students/Concurrent Enrollment Admission Requirements

Students may receive concurrent high school/college credit, which can be applied toward a Manhattan Area Technical College technical certificate/degree following the student’s high school graduation. (Part-time enrollments will be considered if program space is available.) Through the Excel in CTE Initiative (SB155) (K.S.A. 72-4489), high school students receive a tuition waiver for technical tiered courses. See a counselor/advisor for more information.

Manhattan Tech's Concurrent Program provides high school students the opportunity to enroll in college courses taught at the high school. The student would receive both high school and Manhattan Tech college credit for the course. Manhattan Tech courses taught at the high school follow the same course outline, outcomes, and competencies as the courses offered on campus. If interested in enrolling, please refer to the website http://www.manhattantech.edu/high-school-students-overview.

Admission Guidelines for Concurrent Credit/Dual Credit for High School Students:

  1. Interested students should consult with their guidance counselor to determine course interest and eligibility.
  2. Students must be classified as a sophomore, junior, or senior in high school.
  3. Have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher.
  4. Students must either take the ACCUPLACER or show qualifying ACT scores to enroll in English Composition I and/or College Algebra. To schedule a placement test, please call MATC at 785.587.2800.
  5. ​To enroll for a concurrent credit course, students are required to attend an enrollment session at their high school. Please bring your completed Concurrent Enrollment Form and Parent Financial Agreement when you come to enroll. Check with your guidance counselor or the MATC website for specific dates/deadlines, enrollment forms, and payment information.

Please note these guidelines apply to homeschooled students as well receiving dual credit.

High school students who wish to enroll in courses held on campus at MATC or online that are not obtaining Dual Credit will follow standard entrance specifications. Refer to General Admission Requirements for those provisions.
