Spring 2026 Early College Access Program Application

Early College Access Program Requirements:

ECAP is available to high school rising juniors and seniors in the United States who reside and attend schools in one of these states: ME, NH, VT, MA, NY, CT, RI, MD, PA, and NJ.
Qualified students may start in the summer semester between their sophomore and junior years, and participate through the spring semester of their senior year (just prior to graduation), for a total of 24 months.
Students must have a GPA of 80 or equivalent; students seeking to enroll in 7-week compressed courses must have a minimum GPA of 90. GPA confirmation is part of the counselor consent form.
ECAP students are responsible for books and materials fees. An example of a materials fee would be the access to an online portal that is associated with a specific course.
Parent and counselor consent forms for participation in the ECAP must be received as part of the application process.
Homeschooled Students Only: To confirm academic readiness for successful participation in the ECAP program, homeschooled students must provide the following:
- A statement from a counselor, principal or staff representative from the local school administrative unit where the student resides that confirms academic abilities to be successful in the ECAP program; or,
- An unofficial college transcript with the name of the school listed on the transcript that has at least one completed course listed with a minimum grade of a B- or 80 and a minimum GPA of 2.7 or 80.
  - If a course selection requires a prerequisite, you will need to submit an unofficial transcript to show that the prerequisite requirement has been met.
The program ends when a student either earns 25 credits prior to high school graduation or after the spring semester prior to graduation.
Enrollment in courses depends on space availability and final approval of the ECAP coordinator.
