Additional Academic Offerings

Cayuga Advantage is a partnership between Cayuga Community College and local school districts to award college (transcript) credit for college courses taught in secondary school settings to qualified high school students.

Any high school student whose 16th birthday occurs by December 1 of the academic year in which the student wishes to enroll in a Cayuga Advantage course is eligible. Students not 16 by December 1 of the current academic year are eligible to participate with a parent/guardian signature. Only students who meet specific prerequisite requirements and have been recommended by a teacher or guidance counselor are eligible. Students not meeting these requirements cannot enroll in a Cayuga Advantage course. 

High school teachers who wish to offer a Cayuga Advantage course should first speak with high school officials and the Cayuga Advantage contact in their school district to secure their support. An instructor’s credentials (resume, transcripts, certificates) should be forwarded to the Cayuga Advantage Office as early as possible for review. Cayuga faculty in the relevant Academic Division will determine competency.
