All four-year colleges and community colleges set minimum standards that a high school student must meet to be eligible for admission. Current information on the entrance requirements for a particular college or university may be obtained from counselors or guidance specialists, the Career Center, or directly from the Admissions Office of the college.

MINIMUM COLLEGE ADMISSION STANDARDS

AN OVERVIEW FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS

For students entering a college or university Summer or Fall 2012 College Academic Distribution Requirement (CADR) Coursework Students are encouraged to take a minimum of three credits CADR courses each year of high school, including the senior year. Student who take college-level, coursework and complete 5 quarter credits or 3 semester will have earned the equivalent of one CADR credit. In addition, pre-college courses in English and math may be equivalent to CADR courses, provided they are designed to met the same learning outcomes as the high school courses for which they substitute. Students may meet high school requirements with courses taken in middle school, provided the courses are part of a sequence which is successfully continued in high school, or the courses are included on the high school transcript as high school-level courses. Previous minimum college admissions standards used the term ‘year’ to designate completion of what is now referred to as ‘one credit’ of high school coursework. The use of ‘credit’ recognizes that school districts may use alternative or block scheduling that permits students to earn a full credit in a given subject area in less than an academic year. ——————————————————————————————————————————— English - 4 credits including 3 credits of college preparatory composition or literature. One credit may be satisfied by courses in drama as literature, public speaking, debate, journalistic writing, business English, English as a Second Language, or Learning Support English. Passing the state mandated high school assessment in Reading is equivalent to earning the first 2 CADR credits of high school English. Mathematics - 3 credits: Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II (intermediate algebra), or Integrated Math I, II, and III. Passing the state mandated high school assessment in math is equivalent to earning the first 2 CADR credits of high school math (Algebra I & Geometry or Integrated Math I & II). Successful completion of math through pre-calculus meets the requirement for 3 credits of math and the senior year math requirement (below). Senior Year Math-Based Quantitative Course: During the senior year of high school, students must earn a credit in a math-based quantitative course. This requirement may be met through enrollment in one of the three required math courses listed above; or by completing a math-based quantitative course like statistics, applied math, or appropriate career and technical courses; or by completing an algebra-based science course taken during the senior year that would satisfy this requirement and part of the science requirement below. The senior-year math requirement does not mean a 4th credit of math is required, nor does it require a higher level of math; the intent is for seniors to take meaningful math. Completion of higher-level math prior to the senior year exempts students from the senior-year quantitative course requirement (e.g., pre-calculus, math analysis, or calculus).

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS STANDARDS

Science - 2 credits of laboratory science are required for admission to public baccalaureate institutions beginning in the summer of 2010. One credit must be in an algebra-based science course as determined by the school district. One credit must be in biology, chemistry, or physics (this course may also meet the algebra-based requirement). Principles of technology courses taught may satisfy the laboratory science requirement. World Languages - 2 credits must be earned in the same World Language, Native American language, or American Sign Language. Schools may award credit based on a district approved competency assessment consistent with the State Board of Education policy and American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Guidelines. A World Language course taken in middle school may satisfy one credit of the requirement if the second year level course is completed in high school grade 9-12. Social Sciences - 3 credits of history or other social science (e.g., anthropology, contemporary world problems, economics, geography, government, political science, psychology). Arts - 1 credit of fine, visual, or performing arts—or 1 additional credit on other CADR academic subject areas as defined above. Acceptable coursework in the fine, visual, or performing arts includes art appreciation, band, ceramics, choir, dance, dramatics performance and production, drawing, fiber arts, graphic arts, metal design, music appreciation, music theory, orchestra, painting, photography, print making, or sculpture. Students should consult with their high school counselor to obtain complete information about minimum college admission standards, and to be aware of which courses at their high school meet CADR guidelines, as determined by our school district. WSAC document revised 10/12

Before a high school student can be eligible to play Division I sports, he or she must meet academic requirements in high school. Those standards include:

the successful completion of 16 core courses. a sliding-scale combination of grades in high school core courses and standardized-test scores. For

example, if a student-athlete earns a 3.0 grade-point average in core courses, that individual must score at least 620 on the SAT or 52 on the ACT. As the GPA increases, the required test score decreases, and vice versa.

successfully complete 10 of the 16 total required core courses before the start of the senior year in

high school. Information regarding the NCAA can be found at www.ncaa.org. Please see your counselor for more information.

Thus, is no greater criteria of overall competence than the command of one’s native language. This is especially true in a world of instant communications where cultures and people live in an increasing interdependence. The programs at the high schools focus on those needed competencies for students to interact in their environments whether that be in the home, in post high school educational, or complex work settings.

FIND OUT WHAT CAREER and TECHNICAL EDUCATION

CAN DO FOR YOU!

1. Expands your educational options! Career and Technical courses add a new dimension to learning. A CTE course relates academic subjects to the “real world” and shows how reading and math are important in everyday situations.

2. Provides three educational opportunities in college prep, tech prep, and job preparation. Most Career and Technical programs include academic subjects needed to meet the entrance requirements of four-year colleges and universities. They include CTE subjects that meet entry-level job requirements of employers in fields related to the program. Tech prep programs can help prepare every student for work or give them community college and university credits while in high school.

3. Offers you a job-prep path. Fifty percent of all those who begin a four-year college program never complete it, with 25 percent leaving or flunking out during their first year. Career and Technical education is insurance for success! CTE education provides the knowledge and skills to continue your education or to find a job. “Workforce” indicates 70% of jobs require technical education.

4. Challenges you academically and mentally. Career and Technical courses and programs challenge students to apply theoretical knowledge – learned in academic and technical classrooms – to practical problems in technical laboratories and shops. Career and Technical Education teaches basic lifetime skills.

5. “Pre-test” career interests before college. Before you invest in college try a course in Career and Technical Education to test your interest in:

6. Helps you pay for College! The skills acquired in a Career and Technical Education program that concentrates in a particular field help every student get a better, higher paying job.

Students can work full-time and earn more money, more quickly to pay for college. Or they can work part-time to earn more money while attending college

7. Broadens your lifelong work and study options. Go to work or go to college or do both. Choose a suitable career, regardless of stereotypes.

Career and Technical programs prepare men and women for good-paying careers in fields that used to be closed to them, such as technology and trades for women and office and health occupations for men.

8. Helps you acquire lifelong skills and habits to apply to any career. Self-confidence. Self-awareness. Good work habits. Practical problem solving. Punctuality. Reliability. Teamwork. Career and Technical programs instill the desire to learn, because every student feels a sense of accomplish-ment. And that breeds the self-assurance young people need to achieve their own goals.
