Because Ready Global Academy offers rolling admission, students can select individual start dates for their courses, providing the ultimate flexibility to schedule coursework around busy summer schedules that may include travel, work, and other activities. Whether students are interested in taking courses that are not offered at their high school or simply want to work ahead over the summer, Ready Global Academy provides individualized instruction that meets their specific needs.
How it Works: Summer and Part-Time Enrollments
Prior to gaining access to a course, students must meet prerequisite requirements and obtain their main school’s approval to receive Ready Global Academy credits on their transcripts. Please download the Ready Global Academy Concurrent Enrollment Form and contact your school counselor regarding the transfer of Ready Global Academy course credits. You can also call or email our Admissions Office to speak with an Admissions Coordinator. Our admissions team provides guidance for obtaining approval and ensuring the reciprocity of credits.
The student’s main school is responsible for maintaining student records and updating transcripts to reflect courses completed through Ready Global Academy. Upon request, Ready Global Academy will forward an official transcript of all courses completed through our program.
