A semester college course of 3 or more
credits counts as a one-year high school
class
College grades may be weighted
◦ College courses must be weighted the same as
Advanced Placement in the same subject area



Take college courses that satisfy your high
school graduation requirements
If you have completed your high school
graduation requirements and want to begin
college work
You want to explore college and take a
course in a subject that interests you or is not
available at your high school




Students attending a public college do not
pay for either books or fees
Students attending a private college may have
some fees
Books will be the property of the HS and will
need to returned once the course is
completed
Student covers parking expenses if there are
any





If you fail a college class, you will most likely
be charged for the expense of the course
If you withdraw from a course beyond
college deadlines, you will most likely be
charged for the course
Failing and withdraw grades will be included
on both the hs and college transcript
Could potentially jeopardize college
opportunities and financial aid
Could potentially jeopardize high school
graduation

The grade you earn in a college course is
applied to your high school gpa and to your
college gpa
◦ If the course is part of your graduation
requirements, it may effect your hs graduation
◦ Grades may impact your standing at the college or
any colleges you may later apply to
Work with RHS counselor before registering
to determine how college courses will be
evaluated for RHS graduation requirements
English and Math may be a potential risk for
graduation since 4 credits are needed
RHS students must take a reasonable
course load
◦
equivalent of at least five or six hs courses.
