High School

High school students attending high schools in Wisconsin may be eligible to earn college credit through the Early College Credit Program (ECCP). Students must notify their high school guidance office or school district of their intent to take courses at UWL. Participants may enroll in UWL courses and earn high school credit, post-secondary credit, or both.

Deadlines

Submit The Early College Credit Program and High School Special Agreement Form must be submitted to the high school by the deadline for each term:

• Summer - February 1
• Fall - March 1
• Spring - October 1

Tuition & Fees

The cost for ECCP students is one-third of regular tuition and fees. School districts make determinations regarding course approval, awarding of high school credit, and tuition/fee payment responsibility.

Considerations:

• If responsibility for payment lies with:
  • Student/family - Standard UWL billing policies and procedures apply
  • School district - UWL will bill the school district according to the standard billing schedule
• Failure to comply with the payment schedule will result in accrual of finance charges
• If a student drops/withdraws from a course (before the drop/withdrawl date), payment of tuition and fees accrued to date will be required based on the university's refund policy.

Textbooks

Textbook rental is included in undergraduate tuition and fees. This program supports most undergraduate textbook needs, but some courses may require the purchase of additional materials through the University Bookstore.

Textbooks must be returned after final exams or upon withdrawal from a course. Failure to return a textbook by the deadline will result in a fine that accrues until the item is returned. Students will be charged the university-determined replacement cost for a lost textbook.

Course Options

All courses are available on a space-available basis. High school students register after full-time UWL students.

• Course availability is limited; enrollment is not guaranteed
• Most courses are offered during the Fall and Spring semesters unless otherwise noted
• Placement test requirements are as indicated below
  • Students taking a math or English placement test may place into higher-level courses/bypass prerequisites based on score

High school students can earn college credit by taking courses through UWL as High School Special (HSS) students.
