Getting to College--Help You Might Need.
Everyone needs help taking the steps to enroll in college. You may hear that the classes are different and sometimes demanding. How demanding? You need to know this as well as what kind of a class load you can handle with all the other things you must do in your life.
The expense is a consideration, so you need information on financial aid--grants, loans, scholarships. The language about college is even a bit confusing sometimes, so you need to know what kind of terms are used and what they mean.
Therefore, during the quarter this class will focus on transitioning to college: you will have the special opportunity to work with Angela Holley, Transition Specialist, who has arranged to help you get ready for pre-college and college courses and programs. She will give you information on progams of study, how to sign up for courses, how to apply for financial aid (many qualify!), and what to expect. Christina Winstead, Education Planner, will also meet with you to provide you with the help and support you need to be successful.
Meanwhile, in class we will also work on "advising" for next quarter as well as on academic projects to get you ready to move on. We will do a Scavenger Hunt for college resources, an Instructor Interview (you will get to attend a class of your choice), and a vocabulary unit on college words that might be unfamiliar to you.
Your Instructor,
Kathy Harrigan
