Disney College Program

[Lady Norrington]

I graduated high school in May and I don't want to wait four years before applying to the program, so would it be okay if I got an associates degree before pursuing the Disney College Program?

As long as you will have completed at least one semester in college before the start of the college program, you can apply. So if you're enrolled in college now and will be finished with your semester by the beginning of January, you could apply for Spring 2011 now. (As long as you'll be 18 before then also.)

Lokity is right. All that is required is that you have one semester and you meet your school's requirements. But the websites tells you to look into those requirements and talk to an advisor at your school. Just to make sure you don't lose financial aid or something and to see if they'll accept the Disney credits.
I spoke to a former recruiter and she said that the GPA they want is 2.0-2.5. Now she is a FORMER recruiter and I didn't come across that on the CP website, so don't hold me to that.

Since you asked about getting an associate's degree, I'm guessing that you're enrolled in college. If you're not, there's the Career Start Program, which is basically the same thing as the College Program, but its for people that have recently graduated high school (in the past 3 or 4 years), but aren't necessarily in college.
