HSI Early College Program
The HSI-Early College Program (HSI-ECP) is a federally funded grant project through the U.S. Department of Education that focuses on early college initiatives and introduces our Latinx and low-income high school students to college via participation in Dual Enrollment.

General vs. HSI ECP Dual Enrollment
There are two types of dual enrollment: Hispanic Serving Institution - Early College Program (HSI ECP) Dual Enrollment and General Dual Enrollment.
HSI ECP Dual Enrollment differs from General Dual Enrollment in a few important ways:
- HSI ECP Dual Enrollment course offerings are funded by the federal HSI Title V grant. Course materials are provided by your high schools.
- HSI ECP Dual Enrollment courses are closed classes. Program consent is required
- HSI ECP Dual Enrollment provides students with additional support and gives students high school and college credit. Connect with your high school counselor to see how these classes count towards your high school transcript. Each district will do this differently.
