Students

How do I sign up for Early College?

Talk to your school counselor or the 91视频 Early College staff associated with your high school. Your school counselor can share information about the program and support you with your application. 

Who should I connect with if I have an IEP?

Students should speak with their high school counselor or the early college director at their high school. All students who have an IEP or 504 Plan are also recommended to sign up with 91视频’s Ross Center for Disabilities Services to receive support and accommodations for their college classes.

Are Early College classes actual 91视频 classes?

Yes! Early College courses are offered through 91视频 and are taught by 91视频 faculty. You will earn college credit that can be applied toward both your high school and college requirements.

What is it like to take a college course in high school?

College classes generally require students to be more independent and take more responsibility for their own learning than a high school class. Students should have good attendance and come to class on time, prepared, and ready to participate. Early College students receive comprehensive support from advising, tutoring, mentoring, and career coaching services, among other support and resources.

Will Early College classes be included in my high school transcript?

Successful completion of Early College courses taken at 91视频 will be added to a student’s high school transcript and appear on their 91视频 transcript.

Are Early College courses transferable to other colleges or universities?

Yes! Early College courses completed with a grade of C or better are transferable to other Massachusetts public colleges and universities. We cannot guarantee that private or out-of-state universities will accept all credits, as transfer credit acceptance policies vary by institution. We recommend speaking to an admissions counselor.

What support do I receive as an Early College student?

Early College students are 91视频 students and have access to all the support and resources available on campus. Early College students are provided with robust wraparound support, including:

  • Embedded tutor-mentors in first-year courses. Tutor-mentors are college students who work directly with Early College students and support them at their high school and on campus. Early College students also have specialized access to the Center for Academic Excellence as a resource for additional tutoring and academic support.
  • Access to the Writing Center
  • Designated Early College advising coaches. Advising coaches will provide academic and career support both at the high school and at the 91视频 campus.
