Butte College Connection: Spend Your Senior Year at Butte College

About College Connection

College Connection is a partnership with participating school districts to provide high school seniors the option of spending their senior year at Butte College.  Students complete high school requirements through a combination of class time and independent studies while enrolling in Butte College classes each semester.  Students typically complete an average of 22 college units.  Students can earn general education credit, explore interests, majors, and enjoy a supported immersion experience prior to their “official” freshman year of college.

College Connection Application & Tips

What College Connection students say about the program:
  • College Connection has given me the opportunity to take college classes for free, to build my own schedule, and learn skills of time management. It has given me a head start into college!    -Hailey Ropes
  • I chose College Connection because I wanted a sense of independence and responsibility that was above the average high school experience, and so far, I have loved every bit of it.     -Declan Onstot
  • College Connection has been an eye-opening academic experience, a gateway to opportunities. Students in the program need to be responsible and independent, in exchange for essential knowledge about managing college life.     -Autumn Teso
