My question is, this sentence "Some university courses" means you're currenly a university student that completed your highschool? or you can be a highschool student taking some university courses?

Hello progpro, and welcome to the forum. :)
You've posted your question in the right section.

My question is: does this sentence "Some university courses" mean you're currently a university student that completed your high school, or [STRIKE]you[/STRIKE] can you be a high school student taking some university courses?

What does [STRIKE]usually[/STRIKE] this sentence usually mean?
I'm afraid "Some university courses" is a noun phrase, not a sentence. A sentence normally has a subject and a main verb.
For example:
I am currently taking some university courses.
That would be a sentence, and it would suggest someone doing a few university subjects (not necessarily enrolled in a full degree course). Does that help answer your question?

Please see my changes above. Don't connect separate sentences with commas. Use full stops.
