These are students who are still in high school but are interested in the four year degree plan from Cochise College to UA South.

Prospective Cochise Cats will receive the following program services:

Upon receiving advising from both UASouth and Cochise College advisors, students can apply to be a part of the Cochise Cats cohort.

Once accepted into the Cochise Cats program, you must remain continuously enrolled in either Cochise College or UA South. If at any time you do not register for classes in either institution for two or more consecutive semesters, you will be disqualified from participation in Cochise Cats. You will have to reapply for acceptance to the program upon reenrollment at Cochise College or UA South.
