- Have a GPA of 2.0 or higher.
- Be on track to meet all high school graduation requirements by the end of your senior year.
- Complete one course during 12th grade in the list of approved Educator Pathway Courses.

- Have satisfied the minimum prerequisites for the college classes before your enrollment in the course, including having the required SAT, ACT or Accuplacer scores.
- Have an updated Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) with your HS counselor.
- Apply for the College Opportunity Fund (COF).
- Apply to and be accepted into the Colorado postsecondary institution where you plan to take college classes.
