PreparingforCollege

Many colleges and universities will require students to meet minimum college preparatory curriculum standards. However, just meeting the minimum is not the best way to be fully prepared to take advantage of the many and varied career opportunities available to high school graduates.

High expectations and standards imply that strong academic preparation means going beyond the minimum requirements for high school graduation. The Advisory Commission on Articulation between Secondary SchoolsandOhioCollegesappointedbytheOhioBoardofRegentsandtheStateBoardofEducationhasrecommended the following:

1. The college preparatory curriculum should include:

4 units of English 3 units of Mathematics

3 units of Social Studies 3 units of Science (4 preferred)

3unitsofForeignLanguage 1unitofVisualand/orPerformingArts

2. Private and state-assisted four year colleges and universities generally require that students who wish to be admitted on an unconditional basis successfully complete the requirements listed above.

3. In order to enter more competitive colleges and access a wider choice of college majors, it is recommended that school counselors, parents, and teachers encourage students to pursue a more challenging curriculum such as honors classes, advanced placement classes, and college preparatory classes, as well as Post-Secondary Enrollment Options opportunities.

Page 15: 2008-2009 High School Course Catalog - Cleveland Metropolitan

Access to Advanced CourseworkTheHonorsandtheAdvancedPlacement(AP)ProgramAll Cleveland Metropolitan School District students are afforded the opportunity to participate in advanced coursework in all academic subject areas. Honors classes and Advanced Placement classes are available in the following subject areas:

•English •SocialStudies•Mathematics •ForeignLanguage•Science •FineArtsNot all Honors and Advanced Placement courses are available at all schools. Please contact your school’s counselor for course availability.

All students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses are required to take the AP exam at the end of the school year. Failure to do so will result in the student receiving no credit for the course.

Advanced Placement Examinations enable students to demonstrate their competence in college level courses by taking three-hour examinations in mid-May. Tests contain objective and written sections and, in the case of language exams, a listening and speaking portion as well. College success rates increase dramatically when students sit for AP Examinations.

A passing score may earn college credit or enrollment in higher-level college courses. Students must complete an application process in order to be considered for Honors and Advanced Placement courses. The criteria for the Honors and Advanced Placement courses may include:

•GradePointAverage(GPA)•Standardizedtestscores•Completionofprerequisitecoursework•Recommendationofteacher•Permissionofparent/guardian

Contact your school counselor for specific information concerning the Honors and Advanced Placement Program.

Post-SecondaryEnrollmentOptionsProgram(PSEOP)Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP) is offered to students in grades nine through twelve. Through this program, students may elect to take college level courses for both high school and college credit. Available subject areas and criteria for entrance are determined by participating universities.Recommended forstudents who have completed our highest level courses within a specific subject area and for those students interested in courses CMSD does not offer.

Things to keep in mind:1. ByMarch1st of each year the District will

remindqualifiedstudentsofthisoption2. ByMarch30th of each year students and

parents need to notify high school of their intent to participate

3. 9-12th graders are eligible to participate4. A student must meet enrollment criteria

established by the university they plan on attending. Each institution will have its own admissions critieria

5. Contactyourschoolcounselorforspecificinformation concerning PSEOP.

Students are advised to consider what impact the combination of employment, extra-curricular activities, home responsibilities and course load may have on their academic success.curricular activities, home responsibilities and course load may have on their academic success. Please see your school counselor for information regardingAP/PSEOPclasses.

Tech-PrepTech-Prep is a progressive education program connecting high school studies to at least two years of post-secondary study in a college, technical school, or apprenticeship. It builds strong academic foundations equipping students with essential skills in math, science, technology, and written and oral communication. In addition, it gives students the ability to solve problems, think critically and work well with others.

The transition from high school to postsecondary education is smooth because of the sequential progression of course work developed cooperatively by schools and employers. These career pathways also give students the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school.

For additional information on Tech-Prep Programs, please contact your school counselor or refer to the Department of Postsecondary Education at (216) 348-3648.
