Early College Experience Program (ECE)

Participation Guidelines 2022-2023

ECE Registration To register for college credit:

1. Only students interested in registering for WCC college credit must complete the Online Application by the deadline date (see due dates in Table 1).

2. After registration is processed by the ECE Program at WCC, students will receive an invoice (mailed to the student’s home) from the college reflecting the course(s) enrolled for the semester or year. Payment is due within 30 days of receiving the invoice. Invoices are typically sent in February.

Dropping Courses: Dropping the course removes the course enrollment permanently from the student’s WCC record and he/she is not financially responsible for tuition for that course. In the ECE Program, a student can decide to drop a course by the midpoint of a course. See drop and payment schedule in Table 1.

All decisions to drop must be communicated to the teacher and to WCC’s ECE Program by sending an email to HSPartner@sunywcc.edu.

ECE Tuition Charges

The cost of the ECE course is only one-third of the college’s regular per credit tuition charge; the total cost per credit is $65.67 (for example: a 3-credit course costs $197.00, a 4-credit course costs $262.67). All WCC registration and/or student fees are waived. Tuition invoices are mailed directly to the student’s home. Tuition payment is due within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. There is a limited amount of scholarship money for ECE students who are on free and reduced lunch. To apply for the scholarship please email us at HSPartner@sunywcc.edu to request more information.

Grading and Awarding of College Credit

All ECE courses are offered as dual credit at partnering high schools. Students must register for college credit through WCC if they are interested in obtaining college credit. The final grade for the course is determined by the student’s academic performance and awarded as per WCC’s grading guidelines. The final grade submitted by the instructor on our online portal and entered in the student’s permanent WCC record and reported on their WCC transcript. Please note that credit-transfer policies vary from college to college and decisions regarding acceptance of credit is at the discretion of the receiving college and not that of WCC.

Transcripts

Once final grades are submitted students can request their official transcript to be sent to the college they will be attending at https://www.sunywcc.edu/admissions/registering-for-classes/transcripts-grades-2/ If you have any questions, please contact program staff at HSPartner@sunywcc.edu.
