Things to Consider Prior to Taking a College Course

""

  • Grades become a part of an official college record.
  • If a you fail a class, it could adversely affect financial aid once in college.
  • Not all classes are transferable to all four year universities.
  • College-level content and college faculty expectations may be a difficult adjustment.
  • Dual enrollment students are college students, so parents are not able to speak to professors directly.  The privacy of student educational records is protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
