CC+ Updates

I made a conscious decision to cut back on how frequently I am posting blog updates.  I have had so many students tell me that they are overwhelmed by all the emails they have to keep up with and I feel the same way with all of the random messages I am getting from people.  Plus, I typically blog about the questions that kids are walking into my office asking me about and... well, that isn't happening now. 

However, today I have a large number of emails in my inbox related to questions about CC+ and so we need to touch base about some of that briefly.

COTC Next Year:
- If you have signed up for a Math CC+ class, then you should have received an email from Mrs. Gratz or Mrs. Mann to tell you that you need to fill out the COTC registration card.  There are instructrions that come with the card. 
- When you are filling out the form, refer to the instructions.  But, the question most kids are asking is what term, and the answer is 20AU.
- Be sure to mark the box that says you authorize us to release your transcript - that is a requirement to be able to enroll in a CC+ class with COTC.
- You will also have to list which class you will be taking.  If you are taking PreCalculus, please list Math 150.  If you are taking the Calc AB version, please list Math 200.  If you are taking the Calc BC version, please list Math 200 and Math 210.  You can check the add box, list your course name, and leave the rest of the chart blank.
- Copies of both the card and the instructions are on the Counselor Website on the front page in the CC+ section.


College Credit Plus Transcripts:
If you are a senior who needs to send your CC+ transcripts on to the college that you will be attending in the fall, please be sure to follow the directions and use the links on the Counselor Website to request your transcript.  You will likely be asked if you want to hold the transcript until grades are posted and your answer to that is YES!


CSCC Next Year:
- If you are taking classes to be taught by a CSCC professor (Comp, Psych, Soc, Gov, Ethics), then you will need to make sure you have completed the CSCC Registration consent form and that it lists your Cougar ID number.
- Your cougar ID number would have been emailed back to you 48-72 hours after you applied to CSCC. 
- This form needs to be returned to Mrs. Mann (emann@wscloud.org) or to Mrs. Gratz (agratz@wscloud.org) either by scanning and sending it to them or taking a photo of the form and emailing the picture to them.

Then, if you are planning on taking classes ON CAMPUS at CSCC next fall, I also have important updates to share with you!  CSCC has elected to change their in-person course format (this does NOT impact the classes taught at WKHS) to be shorter 8-week sessions.  Most students on their campus will take fewer classes at a time and the classes will be finished in 8 weeks instead of 16 weeks.  This could be a significant challenge for high school students who were just planning on taking 1 class on campus during the semester... because now you will be doing the same amount of work in half the time.  So, if you were one of my students looking at taking CSCC classes on campus, you need to check your CSCC email and talk about your options and plans with your parents to make sure you will be able to handle the intensity and rigor of that double-paced class.  Feel free to reach out to me or the the CSCC Academic Advisors on campus if you have questions about this option.
