The Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment Initiative (ICEI) Program at Middlesex Community College is a dual enrollment opportunity for high school students with intellectual disabilities, ages 18 to 22, who attend a participating school district. New students begin by using public transportation to spend two full days on campus and auditing a course which does not carry prerequisites. Students enrolled in the ICEI Program attend MCC for one to four semesters and create individual plans which include academic, personal, career and social goals.
