Early College Credit Program & Start College Now
Early College Credit Program (ECCP) - University of Wisconsin System
Early College Credit Program (ECCP): effective for the 2018-19 school year, eliminate the Youth Options (YO) program as it exists in current law, and create the Early College Credit Program (ECCP). A high school pupil in a public or private school in the state will be permitted to enroll in a UW System institution, or a private, non-profit institution of higher education, to take one or more nonsectarian courses, for which the pupil may earn high school credit, post-secondary credit, or both. Under the ECCP, the costs of courses is shared among the institution of higher education (IHE), the school district (or private school), the state, and in some cases, the pupil’s family. Neither the IHE or the school board may charge a pupil any additional costs or fees to a pupil, except that a school board may limit the amount it will pay to no more than 18 postsecondary semester credits per pupil.
