Students in grades 9-12 may take University of Washington (UW) college courses, Central Washington University (CWU) college courses, and Eastern Washington University (EWU) college courses, taught in year-long classes at Kentwood High School. College in the High School (CHS) classes follow the same curriculum used in UW, CWU, and EWU courses.  

Students earn college credits by successfully completing the course and registering for college credit. For some courses, a prerequisite must be met before registering for college credit. Credits earned in CHS classes can be transferred to many other colleges and universities (including ALL public Washington universities).

There is no per credit college fee for CHS courses, although some courses may have a regular high school fee.

Students can also take a CHS class for high school credit only. The benefit of this is students have a college-level class on their high school transcript without having a permanent college transcript grade.
