Friday Seminars are important and count towards their grade. • College Classes meet 2 to 3 times a week

  6. Academics - Seminar • Vital to the success of students • It is what makes us different from the traditional school • It is how they learn about themselves, each other, and the world around them. • It is major component in how we prepare them for College, Career, and Life. • This year we added a seminar course for sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

  7. Academics – College • College instructors are not employees of the Early College • Instructors have independent control of the content in their courses. • Early College students are treated the same as any other RCCC student • Early College Students will be in classes with traditional RCCC Students. • If there is an issue with a college course or instructor, contact Ms. Bryant our Liaison. • If you have questions, encourage your child to email the instructor with your question written as their own. • Parents should Never, Never, Never contact an instructor

  8. Academics – Course Sequencing • Both the AA and AS degrees can be completed in 4 years. • Students do have a 5th year, Super Senior, to finish up if they wish to use it. • Factors affecting Course Progression • COMPASS – College Placement Exam • Failing Courses – Students dropping below a 2.0 on their college transcript will be placed on College probation. • Must make a C or better in classes to transfer.

  9. Academics – Textbooks • Students will be issued college textbooks at the beginning of each semester. (Except Summer) • They will be responsible for returning their textbook immediately after their exam in that college class. • Students will be charged for lost or damaged college textbooks.

  10. Grades, Attendance, and Credit • Grade Point Averages (GPA) starts day one and will be a forever number from here on out. • College Classes count in a student’s high school GPA. • College GPA consists of only the college classes • 9 absences in a high school class will result in an F. 4 tardies in the same class equals an absence. • 3 absences in a college class can result in the instructor removing a student from the class. • High school courses earn 1 credit each. College classes do count for high school credit. • College classes receive Hour credit. Most college classes are 3 to 4 hours.

  11. Dress Code • Follow Cabarrus County policy. This includes field trip days. • Shorts and skirts may not be shorter than mid thigh; • Pants and shorts may not have holes or frays above the mid thigh; • clothing worn in such a manner so as to reveal underwear, cleavage, or bare skin between the upper chest and mid-thigh; • bare feet, bedroom slippers; • spaghetti straps, strapless tops, halter tops; • see-through, mesh garments; • trousers, slacks, shorts worn below waist level; • clothing that is excessively baggy or tight; • sunglasses worn inside school building; • hats, caps, hoods, sweat bands and bandannas or other head wear worn inside school building; • any other article of appearance that is physically revealing or provocative.

They will only be allowed to connect to the RCCC guest network. • Must be used for educational purposes. • Cell phones must be off and out of sight during class.

  13. Stress Understand that stress is part of everyday life. It would be impossible and unwise for their future development to eliminate all stress. Instead, we should help students learn to handle and manage stress
