Early College Credit Program (ECCP)

A student selected for the program may be permitted to enroll in a Universities of Wisconsin university, or an alternative private, non-profit institution of higher education (IHE) to take one or more courses for which the student may earn high school credit, post-secondary credit, or both. Under ECCP, the costs of the courses are shared among the IHE, the school district or private school, the state, and in some cases the student’s family.
