Ignite Learning Early College

Ignite Learning is a program for ambitious high school students who are eager to fast-track their education and work toward an Associate degree before graduating from high school. Ignite Learning understands the importance of providing a supportive and flexible learning environment that caters to a student’s unique needs and goals.

The Associate of Arts degree (AA) from Southeastern University online partnership offers students a strong foundation in general education, empowering them to succeed now and in the future. Ignite Learning also partners with other Universities who can provide additional courses and an Associate of Science (AS) degree.

Fall 2024 Note:

• For fall 2024, students can take up to 9 credits through SEU, or up to 15 credits through other Ignite partners. For future semesters, please reach out directly to Ignite Learning to learn the current semester limits.

• To earn an AA degree through SEU students must complete 60 credits. 15 of those credits must be taken directly through SEU, not through the Ignite Learning platform or through other Ignite Learning partnerships. These courses will not be mastery-based.

• Interested students may access mastery-based courses offered in the Ignite Learning platform through another Ignite Learning partner college. Qualifying credits earned will transfer to SEU and will count toward the SEU Associate’s Degree requirements.

FAQ:

Q: Can I earn high school credit for courses taken through Ignite Learning?

A: Ignite Learning is only available for non-diploma-seeking students, and participants will not receive high school credit from their School of Enrollment.

Q: Am I required to take the ACT before applying?

A: No. The ACT is not a prerequisite to enroll in the Ignite Learning Early College Program.

Q: Which universities will I take courses from?

A: Ignite Learning students access college courses through several college and university partners.

Q: Will my credits transfer to other universities?

A: Every university has different policies governing the acceptance of transferred college credits. Check with the admissions department at the university to which you would like to attend.

Q: Can I take Ignite Learning courses in any order, or are they “unlocked” sequentially?

A: Students can progress through the courses in any order; however, some individual courses may require a prerequisite.

Q: How many credits can I take each semester?

A: Students can take up to 9 credits through SEU each semester, or up to 15 credits through other university partners. Credit limits are subject to change per semester.

Q: When do my college credits become available?

A: Students of any age may complete college coursework as long as they meet the college's admissions requirements. However, until a student has completed high school, they are typically enrolled as non-degree-seeking at that institution.

Once an early college student has completed high school (documented by either an accredited diploma or a homeschool transcript), they qualify to be enrolled as degree-seeking, and the credits they have previously earned officially count toward their degree.
