Early Enrollment

Get a Head Start on Your Future at JWU

JWU’s Early Enrollment Program (EEP) can help you jumpstart your future plans.

Through EEP, you can:

• Start earning college credits during your senior year of high school.
• Experience living in a college residence hall.
• Pay only 50% tuition for the first year of your undergraduate degree.
• Still participate in high school activities for the best of both worlds!

What Is EEP?

EEP allows you to start attending classes at Ã山ǿ¼éwhile completing your senior year of high school, all without missing any important high school events and milestones.

You can participate in any academic undergraduate degree offered on JWU’s Providence Campus.

You’ll also be eligible to live in one of our residence halls — while still being able to graduate from high school at the same time as your peers.

WHY EEP?

It offers the best of both worlds!

“Ã山ǿ¼éworked closely with us and our high school to get everything in place: transcripts, graduation requirements and more. Michelle graduated with a National Honor Society diploma and was on the Ã山ǿ¼édean’s list. To see the growth in my daughter in one year was incredible.”

Ann Aliquo, mother of Michelle

Benefits of EEP

Enrolling in JWU’s EEP program can get you ahead of your peers academically, giving you a running start into your college experience. You will:

• Graduate from Ã山ǿ¼éone full year earlier.
• Get started on finding your career path sooner.
• Save money — you’ll pay half the regular tuition your first year at JWU.

Am I a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for EEP at Ã山ǿ¼é if you:

• Are a high school junior
• Want to get a head start on your education at JWU
• Are a self-starter looking for a challenge beyond what is offered in high school

Academic Qualifications for EEP

To be considered for EEP, you need to have:

• a minimum 2.75 GPA (B-) and a B- in English
• a minimal number of high school classes left to complete to meet graduation requirements. (For example, you might have one English class and one or two other classes to take in order to graduate.)

Requirements and equivalent Ã山ǿ¼écourses will be determined by your high school counselor and JWU.

“We were surprised when we heard David was seriously considering the Early Enrollment Program. As parents, we were concerned about him finishing high school and starting college at the same time. His academic advisor eased our fears. He had a successful first year and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for him at JWU!”

— Jason and Laura Allen, parents of David

How to Apply

To participate in EEP, do the following during your junior year of high school:

❏ and indicate your program of choice.
❍ Application period begins in late fall of your junior year. Ã山ǿ¼éwill need mid-year grades to render a decision on your early enrollment.
❏ Submit the EEP Agreement Form (PDF).
❍ Be sure to have your school counselor, principal and your parent/guardian complete and sign the EEP Agreement Form.

If you qualify, Admissions will contact you to schedule your EEP interview.

_{Note: Important financial information for EEP students can be found in the Ã山ǿ¼éProvidence Catalog’s section. You won’t need to file a Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) for your first year because you will not be eligible for federal financial aid your first year. Instead, EEP students save money by only paying 50% tuition their first year.}
