EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM ENROLLMENT
During COACH class students were provided with some information about the Early College
program. Second semester freshman with a GPA of 2.5 or above have met the initial
requirement for applying to the FCHS Early College Program and were sent an email with an
attached brochure. Franklin Community Early College is an initiative in joint partnership with
Ivy Tech Community College. The purpose of the program is to enable first generation college
students to get a head start on college credits while they are in high school and to develop
college readiness skills and habits for success. Students apply to Early College at the end of
their freshman year. In addition to earning a high school diploma, students are provided with
the opportunity to earn 30+ hours worth of college credit leading to a certificate in general
studies from Ivy Tech. If your student would like to apply to the Early College program he/she
must submit this application by April 24th.
To apply have the student login to their school gmail account and go to:
