ACCELERATE COLLEGE GRADUATES!<br />
This spring, we celebrate our 4th annual cohort of Accelerate <strong>College</strong><br />
graduates. These 74 graduates from School District U-46, <strong>Community</strong> Unit<br />
School District 300, Central School District 301, St. Charles <strong>Community</strong><br />
Unit School District 303, and Cambridge Lakes Charter School were<br />
enrolled full-time at Elgin <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> while also enrolled in high<br />
school. In addition to earning their high school diplomas, students will<br />
earn an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree.<br />
Accelerate <strong>College</strong> is a dual-credit program whereby high school-age<br />
students enroll full-time at Elgin <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> and complete<br />
college courses. Students fulfill requirements for a high school diploma<br />
as well as an associate transfer degree simultaneously. The program is<br />
unique in several ways:<br />
• Accelerate <strong>College</strong> is one of just a few dual-credit<br />
partnerships in Illinois where high school students earn<br />
an associate degree upon graduation.<br />
• Student support services are specifically designed to help<br />
high school students transition to college.<br />
• High school districts cover tuition providing significant<br />
savings for participating students and their families.<br />
