High school students need to have completed their freshman year of high school before applying to UA Early College. The student will then need to complete the online application and have their counselor submit a high school transcript. UA Early College students participating in dual credit will have their grades released to their high school of record for placement on their high school transcript after completing their course.

As part of the UA Early College application, each student must provide a transcript that demonstrates a minimum 3.0 GPA,* cumulative since the freshman year of high school. Counselors may submit the transcript either:
