Knowledge Acquisition

College: Coursework generally requires more independent thinking, longer writing assignments and out-of-class research

12. Difference between HS and College
Tests
HS: Sometimes weekly or at the end of a chapter
College: Fewer in number, covering more material
Grades
HS: Numerous quizzes, tests, homework
College: Fewer tests and homework (if any) will be used to determine final grade

13. Difference between HS and College
Parent Role
HS: Strong advocates working closely with teachers and counselors
College: Mentor and support; college views student as independent decision-maker
FERPA: Family Education Rights and Privacy Act protects the student record
One last item to consider is college-readiness…

14. What does being “college-ready” mean?
Being college-ready is more than just being academically ready
Consider emotional and social transition and college expectations
Consider time management and organizational skills

Understand CCP credits are utilized in the calculation of future college financial aid awards
