The Early College Credit Program and the Start College Now program is available to juniors and seniors at any high school in Wisconsin.  Students can attend a college or university, while continuing their high school classes.   The tuition cost of the courses will be covered by the district, if the student passes the course(s).  There are strict requirements and deadlines for this program, so a conversation with the student's school counselor is the first step in getting enrolled in the program.
