• UWM courses may not be announced by the time ECCP applications are due. Its recommended that students look at the prior year when making selections.
  • If looking for fall courses, look at the prior fall. If looking for spring courses look at the prior spring.
• Courses listed with the notation “Not Open to University Special Students”, mean they are not open to ECCP students. Student also must meet the pre-requisites of the course, so most upper level courses will not be an option.

• Degree seeking UWM students get the first opportunity to enroll in courses, Early College Credit students will have to wait until about a month before courses begin to determine if there is space in the course to enroll Many courses will fill to capacity before a student is allowed to enroll, because of these we highly recommend listing backup courses.

• Students who are hoping to take Math and English courses as well as some Chemistry, Physics and Foreign language courses will have to take the UWM placement exams. Students may not be approved for courses because they did not meet the necessary score on their exam.
