Student Support Services

Advisor(s) At Your High School

EICC has assigned academic advisors to your high school. Meet with your EICC academic advisor early and often to build a strong relationship, ask questions and secure placement.

Academic Plans

Your EICC academic advisor will help you create an academic plan for your college coursework according to your future goals and interests. Together you’ll select College Connections courses that apply to your academic plan.

Counselors, Advisors and Parent Discussions

Discuss with your high school counselor your interest in earning college credit, and they will determine your eligibility according to your high school’s concurrent eligibility criteria. You will want to discuss which concurrent offerings and opportunities are appropriate for you.

Make an appointment with the EICC academic advisor assigned to your high school to ensure you meet the criteria needed for suitable College Connections course placement. College courses may require a prerequisite course, an entering assessment (e.g., ACT, ALEKS) or a certain GPA, depending on the requirements consistent with EICC’s current catalog.

Talk with your parents about the College Connections course opportunities you have at your high school. Discuss with your family the support you will need to successfully complete college credit while in high school.
