The Early Admissions à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã enables qualified public, private and home-school à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã who have completed the junior year to enroll in approved academic courses offered through Florida Atlantic University. ÌýIf accepted for early admission, the student enters FAU instead of attending high school for the senior year and will spend the fall and spring semesters full time at FAU. ÌýThe credits that à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã earn count toward both a high school diploma and a college degree. ÌýEarly Admissions courses are free to à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã who attend a Florida public college or university; this includes registration, tuition, and fees. Instructional materials (textbooks) are provided to public school à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã free of charge through the School Districts of Palm Beach and Broward Counties; however, à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã enrolled in home education programs or nonpublic secondary schools must provide their own instructional materials.
When enrolled in an Early Admissions à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã, à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã may only register for courses approved by the high school counselor and Early Admissions advisor at Florida Atlantic University.
