FAQ

1. Who pays for an ECCP or SCN course?  Through state statute, if the credits are taken as high school and college credits , the courses are approved, and the student is accepted, the school district is responsible for paying the cost of tuition and books for the course. 

2. Is there a limit of credits I can take? Students can take up to 18 credits. Exceptions are made if a student is enrolled in an associate degree program and/or working towards a completion of a specific program such as WCTC EXCELERATE. 

3. Does an ECCP course or SCN course impact my GPA? Yes. These courses begin your college transcript as well as get transcripted on to the SDNB transcript and does impact your GPA. These courses, unlike AP courses, are not weighted. These courses do vary in degree of rigor and number of credits. 

4. Do I have to apply by October 1 and March 1?  Yes, these are firm deadlines. 

5. If the course I applied to is full or I did not meet prerequisites, can I take a substitute class? Maybe. We would work with you and the post-secondary institution to determine what other courses can be considered.
