8. Just a few things to consider when discussing MOWR with your student – Maturity level Academic rigor of college classes Attendance: TCHS school calendar and college school calendars are not the same Choosing a class with a certain major in mind Initiative in college classes vs. high school classes

9. Students must follow all rules and regulations set forth by both TCHS and the college institution they choose to attend. Behavior should never be an issue on either campus.

12. Every MOWR student (parents are encouraged as well) must sign up for Remind. This is how TCHS will communicate important information and dates to students throughout the semester. Parents are asked to sign permission for your student to communicate electronically with the TCHS MOWR Coordinator in the MOWR Packet. Examples of messages sent out:  Forms to sign (ex. State Forms)  GPA checkpoints – at the beginning or end of semesters  Announcements for the next semester’s sign up  Reminders about grades, attendance, and tutoring

13. Currently, we have students taking classes at ABAC and SRTC. You must take 4 classes total between TCHS and the college per semester: ◦ 3 high school + 1 college class (3hrs) ◦ 2 high school + 2 college class (6hrs) ◦ 1 high school + 3 college class (9hrs) ◦ 0 high school + 4 college class (12-15hrs) (a lab class cannot be counted as a separate class) (1-2hr college credit courses = ½ credit and must be paired with another class to equal 1 credit at the high school) *Most MOWR classes are taken on a college campus – maximum of 15hrs
