To register, NEW ECC students must complete all steps found under the “How To Get Started” dropdown. CONTINUING ECC students must reach out to advising and complete an Add/Drop form.

For more information on our Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP), please visit the CEP webpage.
• Will my credits transfer to other colleges/universities?Most courses in which students earn a grade of C or higher may transfer to other colleges or universities. However, transfer policies vary by institution and by course. We strongly encourage you to speak with your Academic Advisor and contact your intended college or university to confirm which credits will transfer.
