Students may be permitted to enroll in classes at local colleges subject to the rules of the local college.  The high school will attempt to arrange high school schedules in such a manner as to permit students to pursue collegiate work. 

Students taking such courses can earn high school credit provided the student obtains advance approval to do so.  Such approval will be conditioned on the course being in a curricular area covered by the BHS curriculum and an explanation of why the student is not able to address this need through BHS course offerings.  An example would be a summer school course needed to make up for a previously failed course.  Three semester hours of college credit would translate to half a unit of credit.  Such courses would not count towards GPA or class rank calculations.  College courses taken to meet specific graduation requirements must match the content in the appropriate BHS class.  Cumulatively, no more than one unit of high school credit can be earned through college courses.   Students are advised that the collegiate credit earned in these classes is subject to the rules in place at the college(s) they attend.

Students may be permitted to enroll in a full‑time early admissions program if they have completed 22 ½ units, including all required subjects of the 23½ units required for graduation.  (Such students may be permitted to enroll in the required semester course of American Government during the second semester of their junior year).
