Important information about taking college courses

  • Make sure you are sufficiently ready and prepared. College coursework is more rigorous than that in high school and the grade you receive will be part of your permanent college record. You need to work with your counselor to determine a study plan that best fits your own needs and requirements.
  • Federal laws governing colleges and student privacy PREVENT us from discussing your coursework with anyone but you, unless you give written consent. If you are a parent, please make a special note of this.
