AACPS and AACC are joint sponsors of the Early College Access Programs. This program is a great opportunity to take credit courses at Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) prior to graduation. 

Students who are entering or are currently enrolled in 8th through 10th grade who have been formally identified as Gifted and Talented (G/T) by AACPS may be approved to participate in ECAP if they have a cumulative unweighted GPA of 3.0 or better. Students under 16 must also meet AACC's under-16 admission criteria. After age of 16, students do not need to be identified as Gifted and Talented in order to qualify for the ECAP program. Students must meet the requirements set forth by AACPS and Anne Arundel Community College. 

Eligible Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) students can take classes without paying tuition and fees. For eligibility requirements and information on the ECAP process, visit ECAP for Gifted and Talented Students.
