Things are plugging along well with Early College.  We have completed Dual Enrollment registration long before FITSE and we think that may be a record for us!!  Advisors are using this newfound time to visit high schools weekly to meet with students and counselors so that students can maximize Early College Programs to get an associate's degree or an AGEC by their high school graduation.  We are also putting in time at the NAVIT sites to encourage students to continue with NPC after completing their certificates so they can get an associate's for higher job potential.
