The Highlander Early Start Academy (HESA) is a 7-week intensive in-person program between July 30, 2023 to September 16, 2023 for incoming first year students.

The Highlander Early Start Academy allows students to earn up to 9-10 units before starting their first-year Fall quarter. HESA participating students will take a primary course (English 4, Math 5A or Math 6A), secondary course (English 008), and HESA 001 (College Success Course).  

Throughout the 7 weeks, students will also get to know their personalized peer mentor, create a four-year education plan/roadmap and as well as be introduced and connected with other campus resources throughout the program.  

We look forward to seeing you this Summer!
