Start College Now (FVTC)
Start College Now is a program designed to introduce high school students to the world of higher education.

- Have approval from your parent/guardian.
- Be enrolled in a public school and have completed the 10th grade.
- Be in good academic standing and meet course entry requirements.
- Have an acceptable disciplinary record and do not meet the statutory definition of a “child at risk.”
Application Process
- Complete Start College Now Interest Form (this will initiate a welcome email with important information in it).
- Access the Start College Now Course Guide. Courses must be selected from that guide. All other courses will be denied.
- Fill out the Start College Now Application and contract (located outside of the Counseling Office) and hand it in to Mrs. Van Asten in the Counseling Office.
Early College Credit Program (UW System)
High school students at public and private high schools in Wisconsin can earn college credit through the Early College Credit Program (ECCP). A student selected for the program may be permitted to enroll in a UW System institution, or an alternative private, non-profit institution of higher education (IHE) to take one or more courses for which the student may earn high school credit, post-secondary credit, or both. Under ECCP, the costs of the courses are shared among the IHE, the school district or private school, the state, and in some cases the student’s family.
To participate in ECCP, you must:
- Have approval from your parent/guardian.
- Be in grade 9-12.
- Be in good academic standing and meet course entry requirements.
Application Process
- View course offerings directly from the UW-Fox Cities or UW-Oshkosh (or other) website.
- Verify that you meet prerequisite requirements for each class.
- Fill out the Early College Credit Program Application and contract (outside of the Counseling Office) and hand it in to Mrs. Van Asten in the Counseling Office.
