  • Admission to ECCP program and district approval form do NOT guarantee a seat in the classroom. Each semester after the start of course registration, we will enroll ECCP students to their chosen classes only if there are seats available. We are not able to place ECCP students in to classes which are full. 
  • In case class is full, we encourage student to change to a different class session or a different course which has already been approved by their district. 
  • All ECCP course registrations must be processed through Marquette University's dual enrollment office. ECCP students should NOT add or drop any course in Checkmarq by themselves.
