Early College for Out-of-State Students
Out-of-state students, international students attending US high schools, and homeschool students
The UMaine Machias seeks to provide greater access to early college opportunities for recommended out-of-state high school students from across the country. Out-of-state students pay a special early college rate of $138.25/ credit hour for up to 12 credits per year. Students that complete an early college course will have grades placed on an official UMaine Machias transcript.
How to Apply Presentations
To register for Early College courses you will need to create an account on the ExplorEC Portal and submit an application. You will also need your school counselor to submit a recommendation form. The recommendation form is NOT required for homeschool students or for accepted students looking to take courses in the spring semester before their high school graduation.
