UCA Concurrent Program
2018-2019
REGISTERING FOR THE UCA CONCURRENT CREDIT PROGRAM
Once again, we are able to offer concurrent classes at St. Joseph through the UCA Concurrent Credit Program. This year, registration is different, so it is VERY IMPORTANT that everyone follows the instructions and gets everything completed by the deadline, which is May 30th by noon.
There are three parts:
- The online application.
- The Course Enrollment Form
- The Parent Consent Form & FERPA Form
#1--ONLINE APPLICATION:
11th grade students will have the opportunity to fill out the online application during Religion class tomorrow (Tuesday, May 15th). If a student is absent tomorrow and wants to apply for concurrent, they will need to schedule a time to meet with me this week.
The eligibility requirements to apply to the UCA Concurrent Credit Program are:
- Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale.
- Minimum 20 ACT Composite score
- Minimum 19 ACT Reading score (required for ALL concurrent classes, even Math)
- For a concurrent math class, students must also have a minimum 19 ACT Math score
- Must meet all course prerequisites
- Recommendation of Principal (approval signature on CE form)
To be prepared, please bring the following:
- Your laptop
- Your Social Security Number
- Parent Contact Information (phone number, email, address)
#2 COURSE ENROLLMENT FORM:
- During the meeting when the online application is completed, students will fill out and sign a paper copy of the Course Enrollment Form (no parent signature required).
- This is the form where they actually sign up for World History I (1st semester of World History), World History II (2nd semester of World History) and Math 1580 (Trig/Pre-Cal, year long class).
Please note:
- It is possible to take one concurrent class and not another. In other words, it is not required that you take all concurrent classes offered at SJS.
- You must meet the prerequisites for Trig/Pre-Cal in order to take Math 1580.
#3 PARENT CONSENT FORM & FERPA FORM:
- Each student who applies will have the Parent Consent Form and FERPA form sent home with them to be filled out and signed by a parent.
- This original paper form must be returned to my office by May 30th. No scanned or faxed copies will be accepted.
All three steps are required by UCA in order to be considered for the Concurrent Credit Program.
IT IS THE STUDENTS' RESPONSIBILITY TO ATTEND THE GROUP MEETING TOMORROW DURING RELIGION (or set up an individual meeting with me) AND TO RETURN REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO MY OFFICE. I will not chase them down or beg for these things to be done. If they are truly interested in earning college credit while taking a class here at St. Joseph, then they will quickly and efficiently complete the required documentation.
