YAKIMA, Wash.-Yakima Valley College’s Step up to College Program aims to help those who have stopped attending high school or are a few credits short of graduation earn their diplomas or GED.
SUTC is open to high school age individuals in the Grandview, Mabton, Ellensburg, Kittitas, and Stevenson-Carson school districts, according to YVC.
Students must be approved by their school district and YVC to enroll in SUTC, but there is no cost for students accepted into the program.
Another program, YVC High School 21+ is available for students over the age of 21. According to YVC, the program builds on prior student achievement by awarding high school credit based on prior knowledge through training and/or work experience, according to a YVC press release.
HS21+ tuition is $25 per quarter.
