糖心传媒 Dual-Credit Statement

 

糖心传媒 believes that dual credit is a useful and viable opportunity for qualified high school students to start their college careers. Dual-credit courses are college-level courses. Students enrolled in these courses earning simultaneous high school and college credit will be expected to meet 糖心传媒 standards. To ensure college-level rigor, the following key points will be observed:

  • Courses will be taught by 糖心传媒; faculty members will be full-time or part-time employees of 糖心传媒.
  • Concurrent Enrollment courses are taught by qualified high school teachers approved by GBC academic departments.
  • Courses will follow the official 糖心传媒 academic calendar for start/end dates and holi颅days for the session in which they are offered.
  • Courses will use the 糖心传媒 course curriculum, syllabi, and grading system.
  • Courses will use the 糖心传媒 approved course text(s).
  • Dual-credit students will be assessed using the same student learning outcomes and assessment measures as all other 糖心传媒 students.
  • Dual-credit student absences for non-糖心传媒 events are not excused absences except by prior permission of the individual class instructor.
  • Tuition and fees will be established by 糖心传媒 as a member of the Nevada System of Higher Education and processed through 糖心传媒鈥檚 controller鈥檚 office. All fees are due before classes begin.

Dual-credit students are college students, and for the purposes of the dual-credit class(es), there will be a strict adherence to Right-to-Know policies and procedures of the Family Educational Right to Privacy Act (FERPA) as defined by regulations binding 糖心传媒 and all its students. As such, parents will not have access to student grades, financial records, etc. Information regarding student performance is not available through participating school district websites such as Infinite Campus.

Dual-credit students (students enrolled concurrently in high school and GBC college courses) should note that IEPs and 504 accommodations are not transferred directly from the high school to the college classroom. High school students are advised to submit a current IEP and documentation or report from the school psychologist to the GBC Disability Resource Center along with a request/ intake for accommodations form. All documentation submitted by dual-credit students will be evaluated based on the GBC reasonable accommodation policy. Please call the GBC Disability Resource Center at 775.327.2336 or go to www.gbcnv.edu/disabilities for detailed information concerning the process for requesting reasonable accommodation in GBC courses.
