Scheduling FLEXIBILITY NOT A GUARANTEE MAY NOT KNOW UNTIL AUGUST MAKE PAYMENTS ON TIME COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR COUNSELOR

Financial Responsibility Student & Family responsible for entire cost: tuition and text books Colleges will send out a bill in the students name Payment must be made in order to begin course If payments are not made by due date, students are dropped from the courses and may not be able to be re-added

Grading Students earn AP weight for all Dual Enrollment coursework The letter grade provided to the high school on the college transcript from the partner college/ university is what will be reported on the High School transcript Not all colleges grade the same (ex: a student may earn a 99% in a class, but the college reports it on their transcript as an A not an A+) in this case, the A will be calculated for the student on HHS transcript since that is what is on the official college transcript

Dismissal Guidelines Students may use their lunch/flex for travel time Students must sign out of the Franklin Guidance Office Students should follow college schedule and attend all college classes Students may get priority parking for Dual Enrollment

College Items Accuplacer Exam is required for HACC- Math/Writing/ Reading SAT or PSAT/ PLAN or ACT required for all other schools Some courses such as Math, Foreign Language require additional placement testing. AP Scores-students are responsible to get these scores to the college if seeking to use as a prerequisite course.

PAYMENT Colleges will send you a schedule bill either via the mail or electronically Payment is made directly to the college - not through HS office If you do not pay the college by the due date - they drop you from the course and it is hard to get back into the course

Transfer Credit? Most college credits will transfer, but not all Check with post-secondary schools- visit, call, check websites, talk to transfer offices for course equivalence Research ahead of time to prevent hassles with transfer credit Some colleges will not accept course taken in lieu of high school graduation requirements
