Early College Program

The PrepNet- Early College Program is with Wayne County Community College District (WCCCD) and Davenport University (DU) designed to give students an opportunity to build a permanent college transcript, in pursuit of an Associate Degree, while still in high school. Students will take a blend of high school and college courses, beginning in 9th grade through a 13th year. 

The goals of the Early College Program are to:

*Expand the traditional view of high school.  

*Provide students with greater choice in their coursework to build a clear connection between their studies and career goals

*Increase student opportunities based on interests, talents, and ability  

*Provide a supportive setting that facilitates a gradual transition to college, with scaffolds to help build student confidence and success 

*Increase the number of students completing college courses and degrees, especially those who are traditionally underrepresented in higher education  

*Reduce the financial burden on families.  All tuition will be paid by PrepNet.

To maintain eligibility for the Early College Program, students must have:

*Completed all Michigan Merit graduation requirements by the end of their junior year (with the exception of English 12, math course, and one other graduation requirement)

*Achieved qualifying scores on applicable tests (Accuplacer, PSAT, SAT)

*Met the Ready to Succeed College requirements of WCCCD or DU
