​About the Early College Program:

​​Eligible students may opt to continue at Community Links for a fourth year, in which they will be enrolled as full-time students at one of our partner campuses at City Colleges of Chicago. 

Students in the Early College Program take all of their fourth-year classes at City Colleges of Chicago.  All tuition costs, as well as the cost of textbooks, are paid by the school.

This program allows Community Links students to earn one year of college credits at no cost to them or their families.  After completing the Early College Program, students can continue at City Colleges of Chicago to earn an Associate Degree. Credits earned through City Colleges of Chicago may also be transferred to many other colleges and universities.

Key Features of the Early College Program: 

• 100% of tuition is paid through Community Links High School and City Colleges of Chicago during the student’s senior year.
  
• 100% of classes are taken at either Harold Washington College, Malcolm X College, Olive-Harvey College or Richard J. Daley College for Advanced Credit.
  
• Cost of textbooks for each course is included.
  
• Students can complete their Associate’s Degree within one year of high school graduation.
