Curriculum for High School Students
Lane's High School Connections office assists high school students in making the transition from high school to college. Local students have an opportunity to earn college credit while dually enrolled at their high school and Lane, through our College Now and RTEC programs. Lane Community College does not offer high school completion diplomas.
College Now classes are taught in the high school during regular school hours by high school instructors approved by Lane. These classes are equivalent to those offered in Lane programs and align with Lane course content, credits and learning outcomes. Courses are taught in many career technical and transfer subject areas. Students must register for the College Now courses in order to receive Lane credit.

Early College, is a collaborative effort with local schools to provide early college opportunities to high school students. High school students have the opportunity to enroll in career technical or transfer courses at the college that are not available at their high school and receive high-quality support from our dedicated advisor. The High School Connections office works with local school districts who sponsor their students, as well as individual students paying on their own. Additionally, school districts may contract with Lane to provide college courses directly at their location.
RTEC 101 - Gateway to College and Careers is a credit course offered by the High School Connections Office to high school seniors who are interested in attending Lane after graduation or are dual enrolled in another Lane credit class on campus or online. This course prepares students to skillfully navigate Lane systems, become familiar with the many programs and pathways available at Lane, and set their own course for college success. RTEC 101 is a variable credit course for high school students who want to improve their likelihood of success in a college environment. Students self-assess interest areas and strengths, explore career pathways, and gain skills in work ethic and appropriate modes of communication in the college setting.
