Start College Now allows high school students to earn post-secondary credits at colleges.  Start College Now is available to students in grades 11-12 in the fall and spring semesters.  This program develops a college transcript for high school students.  Once students are enrolled in this program, they work solely with the college. 

Please keep the following state requirements in mind regarding these programs.

  1. The District will only approve payment for courses that are not comparable to ECASD courses, as determined by ECASD.  If a course is approved, ECASD will pay for tuition, fees, and textbooks.
  2. Approved courses may only be used to meet ECASD elective graduation requirements. 
  3. If a student does not receive a passing grade for the course, or withdraws or drops the course after a date which results in a financial charge, the family will assume responsibility for reimbursing the District for the total cost of the course's tuition, fees, and textbooks.
  4. Students may earn up to 18 post-secondary credits TOTAL between the Start College Now and Early College Credit programs during their high school careers.  Each post-secondary credit will earn the student ¼ ECASD credit.
  5. Applications will not be accepted after the due date, and they must be submitted to their counselor.
  6. There is no guarantee that a student will be able to enroll in the post-secondary course after it is approved by ECASD.  The most common reason for a student not being able to take a course after ECASD approval is that the post-secondary institution does not have space in a class.  If a student is not able to be admitted to a class for this reason their application may not be amended.
  7. If a student or family chooses to enroll in a course that is comparable to what is currently offered within the District, the student/family shall assume the cost for the course taken at the technical college or university, and the District will not accept the course for high school credit.
