How It Works

For Students

Your classes, your way. If you’re a high school student looking for online coursework or study materials, our On Demand or Basic plans are for you. 

While we’re open to all, we’re proud of our mission to support students who have been historically underrepresented in higher education or are otherwise considered at an educational disadvantage.

We're here to help students…

  • Get ahead on required courses for college admission by taking them through our online On Demand plan
  • Earn college credit by passing an AP® exam after taking an AP® course with UC Scout
  • Catch up by completing course credits during our summer, fall, or spring term
  • Complete a course you weren’t able to finish at your school
  • Study or take courses in a flexible way that fits most schedules and preferences
  • Fulfill a requirement for UC or CSU admission that isn’t offered at your school
  • Explore career possibilities, new subjects, and personal interests

Your roadmap for success

Pace yourself

Our classes work around your schedule, but we suggest blocking off study time to make steady progress and avoid stress.

Make space

To make the most of your learning experience, choose a comfortable and quiet learning environment where you can limit distractions.

Leverage support

Your credentialed teacher will provide guidance and feedback, and you’ll pick a trusted adult to be your Observer.

Be proactive

Help is just one “ask” away. Be sure to let your teacher know if you’re falling behind or have questions about the coursework.

Stories

Student Vaishnavi

"I took AP Music Theory at UC Scout. I got an opportunity to challenge myself with a new mindset. My teacher responds very quickly and is even available during weekends."

AP® Music Theory Student

"The lesson videos were the best part for me. It's really clear once you see these videos they're all extremely well edited and all of the information is there. I took the AP® Computer Science A exam and I got a 5. This opened the door to an internship where I was really able to use my skills."
