区Collaboratives
的 topics below cover commonly asked questions regarding the Associates Degree and 地区合作计划.
什么是地区合作? 阿卜苏 is partnering with county school 系统s to expand dual enrollment offerings 给县里的学生. While one high school may not have enough students to offer a particular dual enrollment course at the high school, by pulling students from multiple high schools to a central location, the school 系统 is able to expand early postsecondary 给学生的机会.
课程安排是怎样的? While a proposed scheduled has been provided, the schedule is flexible. 我们会 working with counselors in each county to determine the specific courses needed. 然而, it is the intention that if you enroll in the collaborative for a particular semester, you will enroll in all of the courses offered that semester.
如果我的高中关闭了，我还会去上课吗? Courses will begin and end on the Austin Peay calendar, but will follow the school 学期/学期内所有日期的系统日历. 请检查您的阿卜苏邮件 and sign up for text alerts for weather-related closures.
交通是如何运作的?? Transportation matters will be the decision of the school 系统 in consultation with 阿卜苏.
我怎样才能拿到上课用的书呢? 请 be prepared to pay for textbook out of pocket for each of your courses. 你 可以在我们书店买书吗.
课程要求是什么? 阿卜苏 will work with the high school counselors to ensure, as much as possible, that the elective hours will work with the student’s high school focus and intended college 主要. In particular, science and math courses required are different for those planning a STEM 主要 and we want to offer the appropriate option whenever possible.
It is possible some of the courses required for the 大专文凭 may not be counted for high school 信贷 because the student has already completed the high school unit requirements for that course, however, the core university hours still need to be 见过.
我可以在网上上课吗? 副学士学位可以完全在线完成. 取决于学生的 intended college 主要, some required courses may not be available online. 请 note that a student must be especially disciplined and motivated to pursue this option.
我的学分如何转到另一所大学? Credits earned for college classes will appear on the student’s official college transcript. Most regionally ac信贷ed colleges and universities accept 阿卜苏 信贷s as transfer 信贷. Depending on the intended 主要, some courses may transfer as elective hours; most institutions require some elective 信贷s for a degree. 学生应该核实 with the institution s/he plans to attend after high school graduation.
Any previously earned college 信贷s through a regionally ac信贷ed institution will transfer to 阿卜苏 and count toward the hours required for the 大专文凭. Advance Placement scores must meet the 阿卜苏 requirement to be included; scores would 需要得到大学理事会的认可. 获得的信用总额 Advance Placement is limited to one-half of the total number of 信贷s required for 所寻求的学位.
大学课程对我的平均绩点有什么影响? Students will earn a grade for the dual enrollment courses taken and that grade will appear on the student’s college transcript and be factored into his/her college 平均绩点. In addition, the grade earned will be shared with the high school counselor who will include the grade on the high school transcript to be factored into the high school 平均绩点. Because each school district’s class schedule varies, whether a college course counts as one-half high school unit or a whole unit, will be determined by the school 系统.
