EARLY COLLEGE OPTIONS Deadline extended to March 6th!
Reminder:
If you are interested in taking a college course for Fall 2023 through MMSD’s Early College Credit or Start College Now programs, be sure to visit the program’s website HERE for important information about the application process.
Start College Now (SCN) allows high school students the opportunity to take college courses at Wisconsin Technical Colleges in the Fall or Spring terms.
The Early College Credit Program (ECCP) allows high school students the opportunity to take college courses at Wisconsin public (University of Wisconsin) and private universities in the Fall, Spring or Summer terms.
MMSD approval does not mean course approval by the college. Each college/university has its own process which may vary, though most require an additional online application. MMSD decisions are communicated to a student’s MMSD email address. If approved, students will receive information about next steps in the process. Please see your school counselor with any questions.
