Additional ECE Notes:
1. This is a 3-step process: student, WA counselor, and parents/guardians.
2. You must enter a parent/guardian email and cell phone number when you register.
3. Ensure you sign up for the correct fall and spring courses.
4. If you sign up for a spring course at WA and then withdraw from it, you can withdraw from the course at UConn and will not be charged.
5. If you took an ECE course in the past, make sure you use the same account. Do not create a new account.
6. Our school name should be entered as “The Woodstock Academy.”
7. If you receive free/reduced lunch, you can select that in the registration process and fees will be waived.
Senior College Planning
Seniors should schedule a meeting with their counselor to discuss their plans for after high school if they have not done so already. Many colleges have an early action/early decision deadline of November 1.
