How to Choose a Precollege Course
Consider This
Selecting a Precollege course takes a bit of research on the student's part. Course selection is based on your major of interest, abilities, overall passion for the subject and availability. Choose a course you'll be excited about and one that fits your schedule!
CCPS Registration System
Precollege students will be using the CCPS Registration System to register for courses, pay, make schedule changes and view any course related information. The CCPS Registration System uses login credentials different from the MyFIT Portal. Login information can be easily retrieved using the 'forgot password' or 'forgot user name' options.
Step 1: Time Commitment
Choose between 1-day Creative Career Seminars (HWE), 4-day Workshops (HSX, JSX), or 10/11-day "LIVE" high school classes (HAC, HAD, HAR, HFA, etc...)
"LIVE" classes for high school students represent specific FIT majors. These 10 day classes are very popular among students preparing for art and design colleges and exploring FIT majors.
WORKSHOPS focus on a specific set of skills or interests that may span several majors. These 4-day workshops for high school and middle school students are perfect for students who are hobbyists or are new to Precollege Programs.
CREATIVE CAREERS 4-hour sessions invite high school and middle school students to peak into the career journey of industry professionals in their dream job. These 1-day seminars are a perfect way to explore creative career opportunities for busy students.
