    Early College Summer Courses 2023

    • Please note that these sections will fill on a first come, first served basis and most are open to all UMS students (not just Early College students). We will not process applications until they are complete (student, parent, counselor).
    • Because many of these courses are shorter in length, they will be more intensive and students should have a study hall or time management plan to ensure adequate time set aside for a successful experience. 
    • Free online tutoring for all EC students (they will be provided a link by their EC campus administrator).
    • Dual enrollment courses and Early College credits are also available through many of the vocational programs at WRVC and PATHS!
