You can earn college credit before you graduate from high school. ECC works through participating local school districts to offer programs to in-district high school students.
Take ECC Classes On Your Own
Current secondary and/or home-schooled students who are college ready may gain early access to higher education. These students must follow special admission procedures to enroll in college-level classes.
Decisions for student admission and enrollment are made on a case-by-case basis. Students should discuss their interest in attending ECC with their high school counselor and parent(s) prior to beginning the application process as their approval is required. Secondary and home-schooled students will be limited to registering for a maximum of six credit hours per semester. More»
Note: Students who are enrolling in dual credit courses organized by agreements between school districts and ECC (i.e., Tech Prep/Dual Credit and Middle College), grant-funded programs such as Upward Bound, or students enrolling in performing arts courses or ensembles are exempt from the secondary/home-school admission requirements as these admission are handled separately.
If taking a credit class, follow the application process for first-time college students.
