GAP Year Programs

Interested in learning more about GAP programs (i.e. sites, companies, experiences) that offer college credits.

Why do you want college credits?

Are you planning to accept an admissions offer, then ask to defer enrollment? If so, you need to know if that particular place will accept the credits.

Are you planning to apply to college during the gap year? If so, you need to know that some places will consider you a transfer applicant rather than a freshman applicant if you earn any college credits after graduating from high school.

College courses or credit after high school graduation may disqualify the student from frosh application at many colleges.

Probably the most common gap year activity is paid work, usually the typical entry level high school graduate type of jobs. Some people enlist in the military for several years before going to college (obviously, this means multiple gap years).
