Hi-Jump Program

High achieving high school students who wish to enrich their education by enrolling in undergraduate courses are invited to apply to the Hi-Jump Program at Montclair State University. Through this early college program, students can earn college credit, experience the rigors of college course work and get a taste of college life.

Courses
Hi-Jump students may enroll in courses that do not require prerequisites and if they wish to enroll in courses with prerequisites, they are required to take the Montclair State University Placement Test (MSUPT) prior to registering for course work. MSUPT arrangements can only be made after the student is accepted into the program. Students may enroll in up to two courses each semester. View a list of courses by selecting Course Sections on the WESS-Web Enrollment Services for Students homepage.
