Step II - Review Acknowledgement in Considering Spring Early College Academy

Spring Early College Academy offers an opportunity to earn a high school diploma in addition to
an Associate’s Degree. It is a rigorous program and will require a great deal of focus, time, and
determination to complete. It is a 4-year commitment to remain enrolled at SECA. With this in
mind, SECA does NOT offer any traditional, extra-curricular activities (i.e sports, choir,
band, etc.). It will be extremely important to consider this as you move forward in the
recruitment process.

**Participants will be required to complete an acknowledgement form, the day of the event,
stating that they have read this information and viewed the video link
