The Early College Experience (ECE) program at UConn and the Dual Enrollment Program at ECSU provides academically motivated students the opportunity to take university courses while still in high school. These challenging courses allow students to preview college work, build confidence in their readiness for college, and earn college credits that provide both an academic and a financial head-start on a college degree. ECE instructors, who are certified as adjunct professors by UConn/ECSU faculty, create a classroom environment fostering independent learning, creativity, and critical thinking – all pivotal for success in college. To support rigorous learning, UConn and ECSU library resources are available to students. ECE students must successfully complete the course with a grade of C or better in order to receive university credit. University credits are highly transferable to other universities. It is possible for the high school grade and UConn/ECSU grades to differ. UConn/ECSU ECE grades must follow the standards of the specific UConn/ECSU departments providing the credits. For example, the UConn/ECSU grade may reflect how the University department weighs the mid-term and final exams as a percentage of a student’s course grade. The high school grading system may reflect different criteria for assessment; therefore the student should check with the ECE teacher to see if the grade sent to UConn/ECSU is different from the one on the high school transcript.
