Jump Start Your College Education
Current high school and/or home schooled students who are college-ready may take college-level credit classes at ECC. College readiness is demonstrated through ACT/SAT scores or the college's placement tests. These students must follow special admission procedures to enroll in college-level classes (note: enrollment in developmental classes is not allowed). Decisions for student admission and enrollment are made on a case-by-case basis upon review of documentation and an interview with the director of admissions.
