WISCONSIN’S EARLY COLLEGE CREDIT PROGRAM/Start College Now
High school students at public and private high schools in Wisconsin can earn college credit through the Early College Credit Program (ECCP). A student selected for the program may be permitted to enroll in a private, nonprofit institution of higher education (IHE) or a UW System institution to take one or more courses for which the student may earn high school credit, post-secondary credit, or both.
The program opens the door to greater learning opportunities for students who are considering a technical career, wishing to begin college early, or wanting to prepare to enter the workforce immediately after high school graduation.
Early College Credit and Start College Now applications are processed a semester in advance of anticipated enrollment in a college/university or vocational technical school.
