Earn College Credit During High School
The Start College Now program allows eligible 11th and 12th grade students who are currently enrolled in a public high school to enroll in Moraine Park courses to earn high school and college credit at the same time.
Students apply directly to their high school for approval to the Start College Now program. More than 2,970 students participated last year which is an increase of over 40% compared to the previous year.
The school district will pay 100% of the tuition costs and non-consumable course materials.
Moraine Park provides job security, too.
Abby Roecker
Abby Roecker, a Waupun High School Senior, is paving the way for student success through dual enrollment opportunities at Moraine Park, all while preparing for a future in health care.
Driven by her passion for making a meaningful impact in people’s lives, Roecker is part of Moraine Park’s Pre-Health Academy, where she’s gaining a strong foundation in the field. She’s already completed courses like Medical Terminology, General Anatomy & Physiology, and Nursing Assistant, setting herself up for success in her future health care program at MPTC.
As an academy student, Roecker is earning college credits in two ways: dual credit, where she takes college-level courses at her high school taught by her own teachers, and Start College Now, which allows her to attend classes at Moraine Park, taught by college faculty—all at no cost.
“I first heard about Start College Now from some friends, and my counselors also brought it to my attention,” Roecker said.
Declan O’Connor
Declan O’Connor, a member of the Fond du Lac High School Class of 2025, is well on his way to launching a career in steam-fitting thanks to Moraine Park’s dual enrollment programs. Through his participation in Moraine Park’s Start College Now program and the Robotics, Engineering and Manufacturing (REM) Academy, O’Connor has earned 19 college credits before his high school graduation next spring.
By May 2025, O’Connor will have completed Moraine Park’s Manufacturing Fundamentals Certificate and Automated Manufacturing Technician Technical Diploma. He plans to pursue an apprenticeship as a steam-fitter, leveraging his technical training and hands-on experience to stand out in a competitive field.
“When a family friend told me about Start College Now and the REM Academy, I was excited by the idea of taking college courses outside of high school that would give me a head start on my future,” O’Connor said. “Classes like blueprint reading and welding are exactly what I need to prepare for my career, and they’re making a real difference in my confidence and skills.”
