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.
