The Early Enrollment Program (EEP) is a concurrent enrollment program that offers college credit from Rhode Island College to highly motivated high school seniors and select juniors. Students who are seeking an academic challenge and have maintained a strong academic average may qualify for participation in the EEP, contingent upon the recommendations of teachers and school counselors.
Program Standards
EEP Instructors and On-Site Coordinators (OSC) assist in maintaining high academic standards for the delivery of EEP courses approved by Rhode Island College’s Faculty Liaisons.
The OSC and the EEP Office must be notified immediately of any change in the course or a long-term absence (more than two weeks) of an EEP Instructor (including medical leave, maternity leave, military duty, extended jury duty, resignation or any other unforeseen or necessary absence). The EEP Office must also be informed of the high school’s plan to cover the EEP class in question.
If the EEP office is not notified and/or the substitute is not an approved EEP instructor, the course(s) will not continue to run for EEP credit. The high school principal, OSC and RIC Faculty Liaison will be notified by the EEP Office. The OSC should arrange to immediately inform the students in any affected class. The EEP will refer any student and parent/guardian concerns to the high school.
