Joint Agreement Programs

Joint agreements provide additional educational programs to the citizens of each community college district that participates. Students who attend colleges participating in joint agreements are eligible for the in-district tuition rate.

How It Works

Students residing in District 509 who wish to complete a degree (associate in applied science) or certificate in the Career and Technical programs not offered at ECC are advised to review catalogs of participating colleges to identify a program of study and participating college where they would like to study. Students then fill out and submit a joint agreement request form.

Residents of other community colleges with whom ECC has an agreement should contact their community college to obtain a joint agreement form from that college to register for ECC courses leading to their desired certificate or degree. The student should ensure ECC has received a copy of the joint agreement form from their home community college by the time they register to make sure the student is billed at the in-district tuition rate. Check with your local community college for details.
