How can I take a free course at a Vermont college?

First you can take the free Intro to College Studies course at a location near you. Click here to view the schedule. When you successfully complete ICS, you can apply for a voucher for a free course that can be used at CCV, any of the Vermont State Colleges or at Burlington College, Champlain College, College of St. Joseph, Green Mountain College, New England Culinary Institute, Southern Vermont College, or UVM (pending available funding).

You need to be a Vermont resident and must use the voucher by the summer after you graduate from high school.  All ICS students have the opportunity to meet with a CCV academic advisor who will help them decide on the appropriate next step, whether it’s taking a foundational skills course or a college-level course. This voucher is worth hundreds of dollars in tuition savings so it’s a smart move to start out with ICS.

If you are ready to take a college course now, contact the college admissions office to learn more about the dual enrollment program at that college.

If you’re enrolled at a career or tech center you may also be eligible to take additional college classes.  Click here for more info.
