Credit Transfer
Colleges and universities have different admission requirements.
AP acceptance varies from school to school ACT scores used to determine college readiness vary from
school to school. ACT scores expire but college credits do not Having college level math and English on a transcript will
automatically guarantee that a student receives college level placement at any institution at any time. These credits never expire.
It doesn’t matter how many EC credits students have, they are still eligible for ALL first time freshman grants and scholarships.

Why now?Funding Strategy
"I participated in Early College through Red Bank High School where I received 30 credits. I then entered Richmond, the American International University in London as a Sophomore. It saved me $26,000 in tuition and board and means that I had a BA at the age of 20 from a school in the United Kingdom. Taking classes through Chattanooga State was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. Many, many thanks,"
- Jennifer Line
