  6. PROS • Perception that courses are more rigorous – more material covered in less amount of time (three quarters) • Credits may be used towards high school diploma and college degree • Keep in mind that we will not give special distinction at the RHS graduation for this achievement • Flexible schedule • Lots of course choices and schedule times • College tuition is paid by the State • Fall, winter, and spring terms only – not summer

  7. KEEP IN MIND • You are responsible for your own transportation • You are responsible for book, lab fees, and course fees • Communication and connection to RHS requires more effort • You are responsible for working on homework on your own and without teacher’s assistance • You are responsible for making up absences and class assignments at Clark • Probation and suspension policy – every point counts & GPA may be affected • Different atmosphere– give your self time to adjust (environment, system, grading, teachers) • All graduation requirements must be completed by Winter quarter of your Senior year

  8. PARENTS SHOULD KNOW • College has open door policy – anyone and everyone may attend Clark • It is college and is an adult environment • There is no censorship in the classroom • No special allowances are made because of the student’s age • Parents do not have access to student records • Instructors aren’t required to monitor attendance • Clarks suggests that parents should NOT contact faculty • Your student may miss out on opportunities here at RHS

  9. HOW DO I KNOW WHICH COURSES TO TAKE? • Consider: • RHS Graduation Requirements (need to be satisfied by Winter Quarter Senior Year • Equivalent courses • Credit conversion • Meeting your goals • AA? Enrichment? Transfer to a four-year? • RHS schedule

  10. CREDIT CONVERSION 5 COLLEGE CREDITS = 1 H.S. CREDIT 4 “ “ = 0.8 3 “ “ = 0.6 2 “ “ = 0.4 1 “ “ = 0.2 Note: For course equivalencies please refer to the Acceptable Equivalent Courses sheet or see your counselor for more information • Example 1: • Student takes College Algebra/MATH 111 for 5 credits at the community college • The 5 credits at the community college convert to 1 credit at RHS • 5 (CC credits) x 0.2 (ratio of CC to RHS) = 1 (RHS Credits) • Example 2: • Student takes International Economics /ECON 120 for 3 credits at the community college • The 3 credits at the community college convert to 0.6 credit at RHS • 3 (CC credits) x 0.2 (ratio of CC to RHS) = 0.6 (RHS Credits) • Example 3: • Student takes Hiking/PE 132 for 1 credit at the community college • The 1 credit at the community college converts to 0.2 credit at RHS • 1 (CC credits) x 0.2 (ratio of CC to RHS) = 0.2 (RHS Credits)
