Dual Credit Opportunities
Advanced Placement
AP courses are college level courses taught in high school by high school teachers and follow a College Board approved curriculum. Upon completion of an AP course, students may elect to complete the AP exam in May (approximate cost is $110.00). Many colleges grant college credit for specified scores on the test. If a student participates in an AP exam, the student is responsible for exam fees. Students who qualify for Federal Free/Reduced lunch are eligible for a fee waiver. Please see your school counselor for more information.
For additional information on Advanced Placement courses please see the College Board website: www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/subjects.html

Early College Credit Program (ECCP)
Start College Now (SCN)
ECCP - 9th-12th/UW Systems
SCN - 11th,12th/Wisconsin Technical Colleges
The ECCP/SCN was established to allow students to enroll at an institution of higher education in Wisconsin to take courses that lead to credit toward high school graduation. Grades earned at a post-secondary institution will count in the high school GPA because the district pays for the courses. School policy does not permit a student who has participated in the ECCP/SCN to decide after the fact, and based on the result of the class, to reimburse the school district and not have the class count toward the school GPA calculation.
The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District is required to pay for a course taken by a high school student at a post-secondary institute if that student has exhausted the courses offered in the school district. ECCP/SCN students are responsible for their own transportation. Participating in ECCP/SCN may limit the number of courses a student can take at MHS.
If you wish to participate in the ECCP/SCN:
• Discuss your plans with your school counselor.
• Submit your MHS course selection form. Prospective ECCP/SCN students are encouraged to register for a full schedule of MHS courses. Changes to your MHS schedule will be made upon enrollment in your ECCP/SCN course and as your schedule allows.
• Pick up a ECCP/SCN Application from the Student Services Office.
• Submit your form by March 1 for first semester courses and October 1 for second semester courses.
• Keep in mind that institutional entrance requirements apply.
Note: If a student receives a failing grade or fails to complete an ECCP/SCN course for which the Board of Education has made payment, the Board of Education will request reimbursement from the student/family. if the student/family fails to provide reimbursement for the dropped or failed course(s) the student will no loner be eligible for participation in ECCP/SCN.
Note:The ECCP/SCN grade could affect consideration for certain scholarships including the Academic Excellence Scholarship.
Dual Credit
Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP)
The Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP) at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (www.uwosh.edu/capp/) provides academically able high school juniors and seniors with a GPA of 3.25 or higher the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. Students who register and successfully complete courses offered through CAPP earn University of Oshkosh credit, verified by an official transcript. These credits are transferable to all UW system schools and 2 year colleges as well as, approximately 200 additional colleges and universities across the country. Information regarding transferring CAPP credits can be found at:https://www.uwosh.edu/capp/students/transferring-credits
Note: CAPP offerings are dependent on teacher certification.. While there have been several changes to the funding of this dual credit program over the past several years, CAPP courses are currently tuition based and parents are responsible for this tuition. Last year, tuition was $100 per college credit and courses range from 1 to 5 college credits. This remains a substantial tuition reduction from on campus tuition. CAPP tuition is set by the UW-system and is subject to change. Students who qualify for Federal Free/Reduced lunch are eligible for a fee waiver.
Sophomores who wish to take a course for CAPP credit, will require a waiver presented on their behalf by their CAPP teacher per UWO policy. Final waiver approval is determined by the department chair at UWO, not the high school teacher and therefore, is not guaranteed. Any student can still take the course for MHS credit.
