Important information for Early Warriors

Payment

Most Lycoming courses are four credit hours and Lycoming charges $1000 per course ($250 per credit hour). Lycoming offers an EITC scholarship to every dual enrolled student for each course taken, bringing the student’s cost down to $400 per course ($100 per credit hour). Depending on the course, lab fees may also be incurred, and each student is responsible for this additional cost.

Payment must be made by Aug. 26, 2024, with the Lycoming College Business Office on the first floor of Long Hall.

Transportation

Please note that school must work with each Early Warrior student to determine transportation to and from the Lycoming College campus. Lycoming College is not responsible for transportation.

Registering for Classes

Full-time Lycoming students will receive priority enrollment and there is no guarantee that high school students will be placed in their top choice class.

Students may enroll in a maximum of two courses per semester, although we suggest only one course in the student’s first semester at Lycoming. A final grade of “C” or better is required for each student to continue taking courses at Lycoming. Requests to enroll in more than two courses during one semester will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Every dual-enrolled student will be assigned an academic advisor who will maintain contact with each student’s high school guidance counselor regarding their status as a student at Lycoming, as well as provide a mid-semester assessment, and individualized academic advising.
