Dear Students and Families,
We are excited to share news that yesterday, six additional Summer 2026 college courses were made available to current David Prouty students through our partnership with Worcester State University! These courses are funded through FIPSE Grant, which means there are no tuition or textbook costs for participating students!
The newly announced FIPSE Summer 2026 Courses and their schedules are available below:
IMPORTANT: Transportation will NOT be provided for the above courses held in person on the Worcester State University campus! Families are responsible for arranging transportation to and from campus.
All courses will run between July 7th and August 20th, 2026. WSU Course descriptions can be found here. Attendance and grading policies are at the discretion of the WSU Professors.
If you or your student are interested in registering for any of the above courses, please discuss these opportunities with a Guidance Counselor and complete the linked registration form by June 18th, 2026.
Please note:
Worcester State requires that all students registering for FIPSE courses receive approval from Guidance Counselors before we enroll students. Registration does not guarantee enrollment due to seat limits that may result in waitlists. We will communicate those cases as soon as we are made aware. The enrollment deadline is next Thursday, June 18th. We encourage those who are interested in these courses to complete the registration form as soon as possible, as these courses are open to students from several high school partners.
These courses carry college level requirements. It is the expectation of students who enroll in these courses to be responsible for completing the work independently. Students will not have consistent access to a David Prouty faculty member for support, which is our model for Early College courses that are offered during the school year. Students are encouraged to practice self-advocacy and will be responsible for reaching out directly to their professor with questions or feedback to request updated grades and feedback.
Public school 504 Plans and IEPs do not transfer to college. Enrollment in these courses provides students with access to register with Student Accessibility Services. This is the responsibility of the student to access support due to disability. Please do not register with SAS until enrollment is confirmed.
Enrolled students will also have access to on-campus resources such as the WSU Writing Center and the Academic Success Center. Those opportunities and their contact are available here.
Please reach out to Ms.Leveillee or a Guidance Counselor with any questions or concerns!
