Are you a current high school student who wants to earn college credit before you graduate?<\/p>\n

The Universities of Wisconsin offer a variety of opportunities for students attending high school to complete college courses. You can earn college credit by taking a course at your high school or on a UW university campus.<\/p>\n

Earn College Credits While Enrolled in High School<\/h2>\n

There are three ways to enroll in a UW course while you are still a high school student.<\/p>\n

1. Earn College Credits in Your High School<\/h3>\n

UW universities have partnered with some high schools to offer select college courses taught by UW university-approved instructors from your high school. Some high schools partner directly with UW universities to offer in-person or online classes taught by a UW university faculty member. Courses are offered at reduced tuition compared to on-campus undergraduate students.<\/p>\n

2. Earn College Credits at a UW University<\/h3>\n

Qualified students may be able to enroll in pre-approved university courses through the Early College Credit Program (ECCP), which allows students enrolled at Wisconsin public, charter, and private high schools to take up to 18 credits of college courses at a UW, private, or Tribal college located in Wisconsin (for high school and college credit or college credit only). As long as a course fulfills a graduation requirement, there is no cost to the student\u2014costs are shared between the state and the school district.<\/p>\n

3. High School Specials<\/h3>\n

The High School Special program allows qualified public and private high school students to enroll in UW university courses provided they meet course prerequisites and space is available. The student\/guardian\/family is responsible for the full cost of tuition and fees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
