د EPIC په اړه

اختیارونه

Through our partnerships with accredited institutions of higher education, Epic students are offered the opportunity to enroll in college courses and earn, upon completion, transferable college credit, starting in the ninth grade!

Area Concurrent Enrollment

An area college is any accredited public or private college or university in the state of Oklahoma. Epic works with accredited college partners to provide concurrent opportunities for Epic students to take college-earning courses, online, in-person, or through a hybrid option, while still in high school. These opportunities vary by grade and by eligibility.

Taking concurrent classes means that a student is enrolled in two institutions at the same time and two transcripts reflect credits earned.

Please join the TEL Epic Calendar for important dates related to TEL courses and opportunities

TEL provides online concurrent courses to 9th-12th grade students. TEL is not a college, therefore the college credit earned is accredited by Oklahoma Christian. 

 

TEL platform provides a level of support that is not found in any other concurrent option. TEL offers Epic students with daily office hours, monitoring TEL students pacing, and access to data that may show any student in need of additional support. 

 

TEL provides cost effective concurrent courses to our students. Juniors get their Future Ready course plus one free additional course each year and Seniors  get one free course a year.

ECA & Plus One

Epic students not only have access to concurrent enrollment at statewide colleges and universities, but they also have another option for concurrent enrollment through an unique and innovative partnership with Oklahoma Christian University and TEL.

Epic Collegiate Academy (ECA)

Epic Collegiate Academy is a dual credit to degree program that is offered to Epic students starting in the 9th grade. 

 

ECA is a pathway of concurrent enrollment courses that is structured to allow eligible high school students to earn a college degree alongside their high school diploma.

 

Students accepted to the ECA program will have no out of pocket expenses for TEL courses as their learning fund will be applied to the program and Epic will cover the remaining cost associated with the classes.

ECA applications for Spring 2025 are open now!

If you are currently a 9th, or 10th grade in Fall 2024, you are eligible to apply. Please complete the form linked below. Applications close on December 3, 2024.

Who Can Apply?

 

9th Grade Students

Incoming 9th grade students can now start the ECA program the first semester of their Freshman year! This allows for course sequencing to be spread out over all four years of high school; therefore, making each semester's college load lighter than previous sequencing.

 

10th Grade Students

Incoming 10th grade students can start the ECA program the first semester of their Sophomore year! This allows students to complete an Associates degree by graduation with a combination of regular school year + summer college classes.

 

11th Grade Students

The Plus One Program is different than the associate's degree, but it is available to you. Please schedule an appointment with Angie Lee if you are wanting to pursue the associate's degree.

 

Eligibility Requirements 

NEW Eligibility Requirements: Students must meet at least one of the following:

  • High School GPA — 3.0 or above

  • ACT—19 composite

  • PSAT/NMSQT—990 composite

  • Current 8th graders: Record of success in the current Epic model

 

 What Happens Next ?

​After you apply, ECA applications will be reviewed by ECA staff. Next, your teacher will be asked to complete a teacher recommendation form. Then, before the semester begins , students who are selected to participate will receive detailed information about ECA options and classes.
