Four Types of E/MCs in Michigan
4
• A stand-alone public high school
(can be a SEE)
• A school within a school (SWS)
• Public School Academy
• E/MC Program
5
Shared Educational Entity (SEE)
• A SEE is an Early/Middle College that enrolls students from multiple districts.
• It allow districts to report students in an entity (the E/MC) not within the district's hierarchy.
• This model requires a new entity code.
6
School Within a School (SWS)
• Operates within an existing high school. Some students attend the regular high school for 4 years, other students participate in a 5 year program.

If you are opening a new Early/Middle College, it will be necessary to establish a new EEM entity code. If you have a current school that will become an Early/Middle College, the current EEM record will need to be modified. In either case, please send an e-mail message with the details to CEPI@michigan.gov or call 517-335-0505.
