Matador Early College Kickoff

Event Details

The Matador Early College Kickoff is scheduled for August 13, 2026, from 4 pm to 6 pm at the AWC Yuma Campus AS building. Join us and secure your college pathway. Get admitted, set up your student email, and get ready for your future!

During this event, you can complete the AWC admission process and learn about dual and concurrent enrollment classes. It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to earn college credit while still in high school or middle school. Students in K-12 schools can take advantage of a reduced tuition rate of only $30 per credit.

Here are the key details:

• Date: August 13, 2026
• Time: 4 pm - 6 pm
• Location: AWC Yuma Campus AS building

Dual enrollment classes are available at several high schools, including Kofa, Cibola, Yuma, Gila Ridge, Vista, San Luis, Somerton, Antelope Union, Yuma Catholic, Harvest, and Parker. These classes cover various academic and career & technical education areas of study. They’re taught by certified high school teachers during the regular high school day, right on the high school campus. If you you’re already enrolled in an AWC class at your high school during the event, we can assist you with your AWC admission application. Remember that additional forms and steps are necessary to apply the course to your high school credits. 

For those ready to tackle college-level courses, concurrent enrollment courses are available. These allow you to get ahead in your college credits. Arizona Western College has even graduated over 360+ Early College students with an Associate of Arts degree just before their high school graduation in the last three years. If you plan to use an AWC class to fulfill a high school requirement, start the conversation with your high school counselor. Keep in mind that only select classes can be applied toward high school requirements, as determined by your school and district. Again, additional forms and steps are needed to apply the course to your high school credits.
