Here are the steps to take if you would like your high school student to participate in dual enrollment at the Technical College of the Lowcountry:

1. Click on the ECCO link to print out each of the forms listed at the bottom of the FAQ:  http://www.tcl.edu/Future_Student/Programs_of_Study/ECCO/index.asp.  Determine which classes you will take. You need at least 2 to qualify for the state financial aid.

2. If you are a CBCCA member, make an appointment with Claudia Gay, the CBCCA administrator to sign your paperwork as the ECCO Coordinator for CBCCA.  You also need to bring a copy of your student’s official high school transcript for her to notarize.

3. After you have filled out the paperwork you must bring your student, their driver’s license/birth certificate, official transcript and a copy of their SAT scores. If they have not taken the SAT then you need to have them take the COMPASS test at TCL. It is easy to do and is located right inside Building 1 (located on the river side of Ribaut Rd). You sign up at the front window (it is labeled online course registration) and then you can take the placement test. It takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Then you will get your placement results right away.

3. Then you are ready to see Ms. Teresa Cope. Her office is just past the front desk in Building 1 on the left. She will process your paperwork and help you with enrollment issues.
