Early College Credit Program taken at Four-Year University
High school students can earn college credit through the Early College Credit Program (ECCP) or Start College Now (SCN). The ECCP permits students in grades 9-12 to enroll in a Wisconsin private Institution or UW System of Higher Education (IHE) to take one or more courses for which the student may earn high school credit, post-secondary credit, or both during the fall, spring or summer semesters. Under ECCP, the costs of the courses are shared among the IHE, the school district, the state, and in some cases the student’s family.
Under ECCP/SCN, high school students may apply to take non-comparable OCHS coursework (ie: Fire science) or have exhausted all OCHS coursework in a specific subject (ie: AP Psychology). If approved, credits earned at the college may than be applied to the OCHS transcripts as elective credits (.25 high school elective credit for each 1 college credit earned).
Students may not be concurrently enrolled in both programs and are limited to a maximum of 18 credits total for the duration of their eligibility. More information may be found on the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's website and ECCP/SCN Comparison Chart.
