IUPUI’S SPAN PROGRAM –FROM A PARENT’S
                            PERSPECTIVE

                High School Graduation:

If your child is a full-time SPAN student, they can complete the
equivalent of a year of high school in one semester of college.  This
makes it very important that you understand what needs to be done
to reach graduation time.

It is very important that you maintain a complete and verifiable
transcript. And your child will need to take the ACT and SAT right
before graduating as a high school student [Admissions will need a
test taken within one year of applying for regular admission]. Be
sure to ask Dr. Russell for a recommendation on which test your
student should take and when. Test scores will be needed if your
student wishes to transfer to another college, as well as for academic
scholarship money.

Please note that as a high school student, your child is NOT eligible
for college scholarships or grant monies. This may influence how
quickly your student decides to complete the Core 40 diploma.

Planning is very important to your teen’s success in receiving
scholarships and/ or financial aid. You need to submit the
paperwork to transfer them over regular college student status at
least one semester before they complete their high school degree.
But it often requires up to one full year of planning to make it
possible to benefit fully. Timing is everything.
