ECPP

BRIEF HISTORY

In order for a student to receive Title IV Funding to help pay for their education, a student has to be a High school Graduate. HCI College is offering a program for students who have not graduated from High School, cannot provide proof of graduation, and will be eligible to receive Title IV funding (for those that qualify) if the student has successfully passed an approved independently proctored test. The exam is called Accuplacer.

Passing the Accuplacer exam demonstrates that the student has the competency and the “Ability to Benefit” from a post secondary education even though they did not have a high school diploma or equivalent.
