During High School, students can also receive college credit through AP courses (exam requirement), College Career Pathways (CCP) with CT State Community College (Three Rivers) or CT State Community College (Quinebaug Valley), and courses in select subjects through the  Early College Experience Program (ECE) at UCONN, and Early College (EC) program through SCSU. AP exams and ECE courses have costs associated with them that are much less expensive than a college course.
