HOW TO APPLY

To participate in EEP, do the following during your junior year of high school:

❍ Application period begins in late fall of your junior year. JWU will need mid-year grades to render a decision on your early enrollment.
❏ Submit the EEP Agreement Form (PDF).
❍ Be sure to have your school counselor and principal complete and sign the EEP Agreement Form.
❍ Have your parent/guardian’s signed consent on the EEP Agreement Form.
