Day at the Capitol
We are excited to share that all CEC Online students and families are invited to join CEC staff in support of the Colorado Coalition of Cyberschool Families (CCCF) Day at the Capitol! This is a fun opportunity for students to get together in person, to learn about the legislative process, and to express their needs as students. CCCF brings online education advocates together to make sure our voices are heard by policymakers on important decisions that impact every one of us as an online school community.

Notes from Admissions
Final Grades for Fall 2023 Courses
Final grades for the Fall 2023 semester are available in Infinite Campus guardian portals under Documents > "Report Card". If you are experiencing problems with accessing your guardian portal, please submit a ticket to support@coloradoearlycolleges.org.
College course grades will be viewable in late January. In the meantime, students can access final grades for college courses through their college account portals once they are posted by the respective college that the course was done through.
Transcripts for high school students (grades 9-12) with fall 2023 course grades are available for most students. Transcripts must be ordered through Parchment. More information on the ordering process and a link to the CEC Online Campus Parchment portal can be found here: Transcripts & Records - Colorado Early Colleges
ATTENTION SNOW COLLEGE STUDENTS
Due to recent policy changes at Snow College, Snow College will no longer provide CEC Online Campus with final grade reports on behalf of students who took college courses through them. In semesters past, CEC Online Campus would use these final grade reports to verify your course completion status and then post grades to your CEC transcript. To verify and post your final grades for the Fall 2023 semester and beyond, you will now be required to send CEC Online Campus an official transcript from your Snow College student portal. Please download your transcript and email it to sarah.whetstone@coloradoearlycolleges.org as soon as possible. Your CEC transcript will be placed on hold and will be unavailable until this is completed.
- Login to your Snow College Badger account
- Click on the “Student” tab
- Select “Academic Transcript”
- Click on “Undergraduate” on the drop-down menu
- Download the transcript file and save to your computer

A Note from Advising
We’re glad to see that the majority of CECOLC students are off to a great start and staying on pace with their work. This is the right time to take advantage of all your resources: scheduling tutoring, reaching out to teachers during Tue/Thurs office hours, or connecting with your advisor about studying or scheduling methods to complete your assignment.
January 31st is the last day to drop FRCC courses (Speak to your advisor first before dropping). All graduating students need to make sure they have completed a CEC graduation application. Also, if you’re graduating from FRCC/Snow College, then make sure your advisor has a copy of your degree check from the issuing Institution. This can be found in your Badger or eWolf accounts. Be proactive by getting this done early, then relax until graduation. Let's have no surprises in May!
We cannot believe that you all are more than halfway through this year and have accomplished so much. Keep up all the good work and ask for help if you need it. We are here for all of you.
Keep soaring high,
CECOLC Advising Department

Staff Spotlight!
Mrs. Stacey Evans is our 504 Coordinator. She holds a Bachelor's in Behavioral Science and Elementary Education from Metropolitan State University and a Master's in Reading and Literacy Instruction from Walden University
As a 504 coordinator, I get to work with students, their families, and staff to develop and monitor 504 plans for eligible students. I work to make sure that accommodations are understood and can effectively be provided. I love getting to know students and their families as we create a plan to help them become successful learners. If I could have one superpower, it would be to speak every language so that I could chat with everyone! A few of my hobbies include hiking, reading, gardening, and being outdoors with my family as much as possible.
