PROVIDENCE, R.I. — New England Institute of Technology is offering conditional early acceptance to eligible Providence Public School juniors, allowing them to earn credits toward college graduation while still in high school.
The program is open to all juniors enrolled in the Providence public schools who have at least a B average at the end of their junior year and, through school attendance and behavior, have proven the maturity necessary for college success. Students must also meet NEIT’s admission procedures for the programs to which they are applying. NEIT will waive all application fees, according to Providence schools spokeswoman Laura Hart.
Students can take up to two courses per quarter, with a maximum of four courses per calendar year. These courses are free and allow students to earn credits for high school and college simultaneously, Hart said.
