For this we ask participants to bring their own laptop/tablet – no special software is needed, just a web browser. For those that do not have a laptop or tablet, no worries, we will pair you up with someone that does.
Please park in the South parking garage and bring your ticket from the garage for a validation stamp. If you park elsewhere you may be ticketed or towed at your own expense. For a campus map please see: maps.uconn.edu.

UConn Early College Experience (ECE) is a concurrent enrollment program that allows motivated high school students to take UConn courses at their high schools for both high school and college credit. Every course taken through UConn ECE is equivalent to the same course at the University of Connecticut. Students benefit by taking college courses in a setting that is both familiar and conducive to learning.
High school instructors who have been certified through the University of Connecticut teach UConn ECE courses.
Established in 1955, UConn Early College Experience is the nation's longest running concurrent enrollment program and is nationally accredited by The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).
