Francis Howell Early College Program --- How to earn a high school diploma and earn 42+ or more college credits at the same time - - -

The Francis Howell School District is proud to partner with Saint Charles Community College (SCC) to offer the Early College Program to

students at all FHSD high schools. The Early College Program offers high school students an opportunity to earn transferable college credits

while still enrolled in high school. The program allows students to take classes at SCC. Participating students will travel to take classes on

the SCC campus. Beginning in a student’s junior year, students may enroll in Lanes 1 and 2 of the Early College Program and replace part or

all of their traditional high school course schedule. Students in grades 9-12 may enroll in Lane 3. All three lanes are described below. While

enrolled in the Early College Program, students will take college coursework with textbooks and curriculum taught by SCC professors.

Students can earn enough credits to complete part or all of an Associate’s Degree while concurrently earning a high school diploma. The

Early College Program will consist of 3 “Lanes” of course offerings at SCC:

Early College Description Lane

Students in Lane 1 will complete 42+ credit hours that will be fully transferable to any Missouri public college or university. Most private institutions in Missouri and neighboring states also accept these credit hours, but students and families will need to confirm this with their destination school.

LANE 1 Students who complete the “Core 42” will be considered as having completed all lower-division

42++ TRANSFERABLE CREDIT HOURS

(Open to juniors & seniors)

general education requirements at any Missouri public college or university. Students shall receive full credit, including any pre-requisites or requirements in the major, for all Missouri Transfer (MOTR) courses that transfer. The receiving Missouri public institution cannot require the student to take any additional lower-division general education courses. A student may, however, have to take additional lower-division courses to fulfill major, minor, program, or institutional requirements. Students and families will pay for tuition, books, and fees. It is strongly recommended that students enter Lane 1 at the start of their junior year. Students may enter Lane 1 at the start of their senior year, but do so with the understanding that they will not complete the full 42+ credit hours.

Students in Lane 2 will have an opportunity to earn an Associate’s Degree from Saint Charles Community College and will be able to transfer to any Missouri public university having completed all lower-division general education requirements. Most private institutions in Missouri and neighboring

states also accept these credit hours, but students and families will need to confirm this with their destination school. Students shall receive full credit, including any prerequisites or requirements in their major, for all Missouri Transfer (MOTR) courses transferred. The receiving institution cannot require the student to take additional lower-division general education courses. A student may, however, have to take additional lower-division courses to fulfill major, minor, program, or other requirements at the receiving institution. Students and families will pay for tuition, books, and fees. Only students entering their junior year may enter Lane 2.

LANE 3 Students in Lane 3 will take individual classes at Saint Charles Community College. For each MOTR course completed, the receiving Missouri public institution shall award full transfer credit, including

A LA CARTE any prerequisites or requirements for a major or minor. Most private institutions in Missouri and

COURSES neighboring states also accept these credit hours, but students and families will need to confirm this

Information About Core 42

The Missouri Department of Higher Education (MDHE) has identified a common set of general education courses that they call the

“Core 42.” Core 42 courses are guaranteed to transfer to any Missouri public college or university to satisfy general education

requirements.

The Core 42 offers several courses across five knowledge areas: Communications (Oral & Written), Humanities and Fine Arts,

Mathematical Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Social & Behavioral Sciences. These courses are designated with a Missouri Transfer

(MOTR) course number that guarantees the one-to-one transfer of these courses to all Missouri public institutions of higher

education.

Students and families participating in the Early College Program will pay for all tuition, fees, and books associated with enrollment in

the Early College Program.

Core 42 Courses – Saint Charles Community College Only courses that have an assigned MOTR number are guaranteed to transfer as part of the Core 42 program. For this reason, FHSD will only award dual

enrollment credit for MOTR-numbered Core 42 courses offered at SCC. The chart below shows the only courses offered at SCC that are both guaranteed to

transfer and recognized for dual enrollment credit by FHSD. Taking any course outside of this grid puts the student at risk of not earning sufficient credits

toward graduation. Students may petition the district to accept SCC courses for credit that are not listed in this document. The petition form is included

in this packet. FHSD cannot guarantee that such courses will be accepted for FHSD credit or that they will meet graduation requirements.

All Core 42 Courses Offered by SCC These courses have MOTR numbers and are guaranteed to transfer to any state school in Missouri. Courses with MOTR numbers will satisfy FHSD graduation requirements. Other courses may be taken for elective credit, but will not satisfy core area graduation requirements. Bold courses will carry an honors point.

*SCC offers a limited number of math courses that are guaranteed to transfer through the Early College Program. In the event that an FHSD student needs a math course that exceeds

these offerings, it may be best for the student to take math at their FHSD home site or to take a higher-level math course than is offered in FHSD.

**Students taking POL 101 as a junior will need to take and pass the FHSD Missouri and US Constitution exams. Students will also be required to take the Missouri Government End-Of-

Course (EOC) exam.

Lane 2 Information (Completion of the Associate’s Degree) Students must work with their high school counselors to ensure that they satisfy Francis Howell graduation requirements while

participating in Early College courses. Students who are interested in graduating with honors through the cum laude honors recognition

program must also schedule courses that fulfill those requirements. In order to ensure that such requirements are satisfied, students will

need to build a schedule that fulfills both FHSD graduation requirements as well as SCC Associate’s Degree requirements. In order to

complete the full Associate’s Degree before high school graduation, it may be necessary for participating students to take SCC courses during

the summer before and/or after their junior year. Initiating Lane 2 of the Early College Program is a significant commitment. Students who

begin the program and decide to drop from the program before completion run the risk of falling short of FHSD graduation requirements.

Associate of Arts (A.A.) The A.A. is awarded to students completing the requirements of the academic transfer program with

a minimum of 64 semester hours including 42+ hours of general education core requirements. It generally parallels the first two years of a Bachelor of Arts degree at a four-year institution. Each of

the A.A. degrees listed here include the MOTR-numbered Core 42 as their base. This is the safest route to take in order to pursue a transferable Associate’s Degree while ensuring that FHSD graduation

requirements are met. Students pursuing one of these transfer pathways must work closely with their SCC and FHSD counselors to ensure that they are taking courses that satisfy FHSD graduation

requirements.

Associate of Arts in Teaching (A.A.T.) The A.A.T. is awarded to students completing the requirements of the academic transfer program for

future educators. It is a 64-hour program that includes a general education core and elective/institutional requirements. It generally parallels the first two years of a Bachelor of Arts degree at a four-year institution. The following degree programs are transfer degrees, but do not

require the MOTR-numbered Core 42 as their base. The General Education courses are specific to the degree and may or may not include a MOTR number that guarantees transfer. Students pursuing one of these transfer pathways must work closely with their SCC and FHSD counselors to ensure that they

are taking courses that satisfy FHSD graduation requirements.

Associate of Fine Arts (A.F.A.) The A.F.A. is awarded to students completing the requirements of a specifically identified academic program within this degree. Minimum credit hours vary based on the specific program. The A.F.A.

degree is a transfer degree for students planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree with a concentration in studio fine arts, graphic design, Art Education, or music at a four-year college, university, art, or

music school or a conservatory. The following degree programs are transfer degrees, but do not require the MOTR-numbered Core 42 as their base. The General Education courses are specific to the degree and may or may not include a MOTR number that guarantees transfer. Students pursuing one of these transfer pathways must work closely with their SCC and FHSD counselors to ensure that they

a four-year college or university. The following degree programs are transfer degrees, but do not require the MOTR-numbered Core 42 as their base.

SCC offers a limited number of math courses that are guaranteed to transfer through the Core 42 program. In the event that an FHSD student

needs a math course that exceeds these offerings, it may be best for the student to take math at their FHSD home site or to take a higher-level

math course than is offered in FHSD. Students taking POL 101 as a junior will need to take and pass the FHSD Missouri and US Constitution

exams. Students will also be required to take the Missouri Government End-Of-Course (EOC) exam.

Fees & Books As part of the Early College Program, students and families will pay all costs for tuition ($67 per credit hour for 2019-2020), fees, and

books associated with participation in the program. Students in all three Lanes are responsible for their own transportation. In an

effort to mitigate financial barriers to participation in the Early College Program, SCC tuition is offered at a 35% discount for FHSD

participants.

Special Notes About A+Plus Funds & Financial Aid The A+Plus program was created by the Outstanding Schools Act of 1993. If students meet the requirements of the A+Plus program

upon graduation, then they qualify for state-paid financial assistance to attend any public community college of vocational/technical

school in Missouri. Currently these funds may only be accessed after a student graduates from high school. Once a student has

completed an Associate’s Degree, their eligibility utilize A+Plus funds terminates. By participating in the Early College Program,

students who complete their Associate’s Degree will lose the ability to use A+Plus funds. Furthermore, students who complete the

Lane 1 (Core 42) option will only be able to use A+Plus funds to financially assist the remainder of the credit hours necessary or them

to earn an Associate’s Degree.

In addition, while most 4-year colleges and universities award financial aid packages that cover 4 years of a student’s attendance at

that institution, some schools may limit financial aid packages if incoming students have earned a significant number of credit hours.

Students and families are strongly encouraged to check with prospective colleges and universities to see if their participation in the

Early College Program will impact their ability to earn financial aid.

Students and families will need to consider these impacts as they balance the benefits of the Early College Program with their

educational and financial post-high school plans.

End Of Course (EOC) Exams & College & Career Readiness Assessments Before graduating high school, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) requires that the Francis

Howell School District administer End-Of-Course (EOC) assessments. Students participating in the Early College Program will also be

required to take these assessments as a condition of their participation in the program if they have not taken them already.

Algebra I EOC in high school will be required to take the Algebra II EOC. FHSD also requires that every graduating senior take an

appropriate college & career assessment before graduation. Options include the ACT, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery

(ASVAB), and ACT WorkKeys assessments.

Fridays Most courses offered on the campus of SCC are Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday courses. Very few courses meet on

Fridays. During the first semester of a student’s participation in the Early College Program, all participating students must take a 16-

week 1.0 credit college orientation course called College 101 (COL 101). The course meets on Fridays and concludes at the end of the

student’s first semester at SCC. During subsequent semesters, students in Lane 2 who are attempting to earn the full Associate’s

Degree should take one online SCC course in addition to their base schedule. Students are strongly encouraged to dedicate their “off”

Fridays to completing the online course, but are cautioned that the online course will require more time and effort outside of only

working on Fridays. Students may also opt to take online courses offered by FHSD. Participating students may also be required to

attend their FHSD home site on Fridays in order to complete necessary school activities like EOC exams, graduation-related events,

constitution exams, college and career assessments, scheduling conferences, CPR training, and any other purpose as required by

FHSD administrators and staff.

Summer Courses Students who are entering Lane 2 in the fall of their junior year will need to enroll in the online Personal Finance course offered

through the FHSD summer credit advancement program unless the student has alternate plans to earn Personal Finance credit. This

requirement can be waived if the student has already completed Personal Finance or has plans to earn the credit through alternate

means. Furthermore, in order to earn an Associate’s Degree in Lane 2, students may need to successfully complete 67 credit hours or

more. This may require students to take courses during summer sessions.

Attendance Students and parents are reminded that a student’s regular attendance at school is required by law (167.031, RSMo). Students

participating in the Early College Program are expected to maintain a minimum of a 90% attendance rate. Students who fall below

90% attendance may be considered for removal from the program. Students are expected to abide by all FHSD attendance

procedures and practices. By participating in the Early College Program, students and families agree to follow the academic

calendars established by both FHSD and SCC. This means that if SCC holds classes during an FHSD break, then the student must still

attend their SCC classes. Similarly, if FHSD has school during an SCC break, then the student must still attend their FHSD classes. The

same conditions apply to the beginning and end of the school year, when one institution may be in session and the other institution

may not be in session.

10

Credits A 3.0 credit-hour college course will count as 0.5 units of high school credit. A 5.0 credit-hour college course will count as 1.0 units of

credit.

Lane 1 – Students will be expected to take 2 classes at their FHSD home site, which will equate to 1.0 high school credits.

Students will be expected to take at least 12.0 credit hours at SCC.

Lane 2 – Students will be expected to take at least 15.0 credit hours at SCC and are encouraged to supplement that with an

online course either through SCC or FHSD.

College Course Hours Three Hour Course Five Hour Course

High School Units of Credit 0.5 Units of Credit 1.0 Units of Credit

Activities and Athletics For all Early College Program participants, non-remedial courses attempted and completed through the Early College Program will

appear on a student’s transcript and must be completed before the end of the FHSD semester in order to count toward eligibility.

Any student who wishes to participate in a MSHSAA-sanctioned activity must have passed 3.0 units of credit in the previous semester

or have earned 80% of the credits in the maximum allowable classes, whichever was greater. In addition, in order to participate

during the current semester, students must be enrolled in 3.0 units of credit or 80% of the maximum allowable classes, whichever is

greater. Students participating in the Early College Program must account for this if they wish to participate in MSHAA-sanctioned

activities. Students in Lane 1 must take 3.0 credits of combined credit in order to participate during the current semester. Students

in Lane 1 will be considered full-time if they take 2 classes at their FHSD home site and 12.0 credit hours of classes at SCC. Students

in Lane 2 will be attending SCC as a full-time student. Students in Lane 2 will be considered full-time if they take 15.0 credit hours of

classes. To maintain eligibility, students in both lanes need to earn 80% of their possible credits.

This will typically require that the student be enrolled in 5-6 SCC courses, depending on the number of college course credits that are

assigned to a specific class. In order for a student to protect their eligibility, it may be necessary for students to take summer courses

through SCC or FHSD or to take additional online courses outside of the regular school schedule.

The following diagram outlines the college course equivalencies that apply to MSHSAA eligibility requirements:

College Course Hours Three Hour Course Five Hour Course

High School Units of Credit 0.5 Units of Credit 1.0 Units of Credit

Students participating in the Early College Program may maintain eligibility as to participate in MSHSAA-sanctioned activities as

bonafide students under FHSD Policy 2921 (Participation by Non-Traditional Students). Non-traditional students may be considered

bonafide under MSHSAA regulations under any of the following options:

Option 1 – Transcripted Credits

1. The student must be enrolled in a District high school although some courses/credits are taken off-campus, e.g. virtual, post-

secondary, work study, etc.; and

2. All credits attempted must appear on the student’s high school transcript; and

3. All classes must be completed by the high school’s close of semester in order to be considered countered toward activity

eligibility.

Option 2 – Seat Time plus Non-Transcripted Credits

1. The student must be enrolled in a District high school and take a minimum of two (2) credit bearing seat time classes for a

minimum of 1.0 units of credit at the high school; and

2. High school administration must confirm after a full academic review that the student is further enrolled in courses outside

of the high school, which bring the student up to full MSHSAA mandated credit requirements of 80%. The high school

administration will develop and submit to the superintendent/designee a written procedure to determine approval of

outside courses/credits, as well as the procedures to determine success/credit confirmation for academic eligibility for the

current and following semester. It is not necessary that such confirmed credits be placed on the student’s transcript.

3. All classes must be completed by the high school’s end of semester in order to be considered toward activity eligibility.

11

Change of Enrollment Status

Any student whose enrollment status changes from being a non-bonafide activity eligible student to a bonafide activity eligible

student will be considered a transfer student. As a transfer student, the student would be activity ineligible until a transfer of

eligibility form is filed and an eligibility ruling rendered.

Transportation Students participating in the Early College Program and their families assume full responsibility for transportation to and from SCC

and their FHSD home site. FHSD will not provide transportation.

Remedial Courses Students participating in Lanes 1, 2, and 3 of the Early College Program will receive high school credit for MOTR-numbered dual enrollment courses as part of the Core 42 program offered at SCC. Only non-remedial courses will be considered for dual enrollment credit. All MOTR-numbered Lane 1 (Core 42), Lane 2 (Associate’s Degree), and Lane 3 (A La Carte) courses completed at SCC will be included on participating students’ high school transcripts, satisfy cum laude requirements, and will be calculated into the participating student’s GPA. Students may petition the district to accept SCC courses for credit that are not listed in this document. The petition form is included in this packet. FHSD cannot guarantee that such courses will be accepted for FHSD credit or that they will meet graduation requirements.

Removal from the Early College Program FHSD and SCC will monitor student progress in the Early College Program. Students and parents must also maintain oversight of

their own progress. FHSD and SCC may, at their sole discretion, remove a student from participation. Students and parents may also

terminate their participation with the understanding that this must be completed before the SCC final drop date or at the end of the

current SCC semester. Students who drop courses outside of the drop dates established by FHSD and SCC may lose the ability to

receive a tuition refund and may have grades for each course entered as an “F” on their transcripts. Developments that could results

in a student being removed from the Early College Program include, but are not limited to:

Failure to maintain a 90% attendance rate

Earning grades below a “C” in Early College Program classes

Academic dishonesty/plagiarism

Repetitive or major violations of both the SCC Student Handbook or FHSD Code of Student Contact

Failure to pay for tuition, books, and fees in the timelines established by SCC

Failure to make adequate progress toward graduation

Failure to report to the student’s FHSD home site when directed to do so

Failure to produce requested documents or information to FHSD officials

Abuse of the privileges associated with participation in the Early College Program

In the event that a student falls short of the expectations for students to continue in the Early College Program, the district may

choose to dismiss the student from the program or apply a period of probation for the subsequent semester. This decision is at the

sole discretion of FHSD and SCCC officials.

FRANCIS HOWELL SCHOOL DISTRICT LANE 3 DUAL ENROLLMENT APPLICATION

DIRECTIONS: Complete the box at the top of the page. Read all of the Guidelines listed below. Complete Parts 1 and 2 at the bottom of the page. Part 2 requires signatures from the high school Department Chair, Activities Director (if applicable), School Counselor, and Principal. Submit the final form, including any authorization/approval forms from the college or university, to the Guidance Counselor.

GUIDELINES: 1. According to FHSD Policy 2525 (Graduation Requirements), students may petition to receive high school credit for dual enrollment courses they are

taking at colleges/universities. Only non-remedial college courses will be considered for dual enrollment credit. Students petition the district to accept other courses for credit. FHSD cannot guarantee that such courses will be accepted for FHSD credit or that they will meet graduation requirements.

2. Courses approved for dual enrollment will be transcribed with the grade awarded by the crediting institution. Grades for non-remedial courses will be calculated into the student’s GPA. SCC dual enrollment courses will be awarded an honors point if the course is 200 level or higher. Courses at other institutions will be awarded an honors point if they are at a level that corresponds to a second-year college student.

3. The student must attach to this application a written statement or paid receipt (both from the college, university, or junior college) verifying his/her enrollment at the institution and in the dual credit course.

4. Upon completion of the course, a copy of the college transcript with the course grade must be submitted to the high school counselor for final approval. 5. A three credit-hour college course will equal 0.5 unit of high school credit. A five credit-hour college course will equal 1.0 units of high school credit. 6. During the school year, students must be enroll in at least four credit-bearing courses at the high school to be eligible for off-campus dual enrollment in

two a la carte college courses. Students must enroll is at least five credit bearing courses at the high school to be eligible for off-campus dual enrollment in one a la carte college course.

7. Students who meet the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) athletic eligibility requirements may participate in athletics, providing they meet the MSHSAA requirements. MSHSAA will allow 3 hours of college credit to be substituted for one hour of high school attendance. 6 hours of college credit can be substituted for 2 hours of high school attendance. One 5 credit hour college class can also be substituted for 2 hours of high school attendance. Students in Lane 3 must be enrolled in 6 credit-bearing classes to be eligible for participation in extra-curricular activities. For students in Lane 3, college hours earned during a semester count up to a maximum of 1.0 unit of high school credit toward MSHSAA eligibility. Students must also pass 6 classes from the semester and carry a 1.50 GPA in order to participate. This includes college courses. It is the responsibility of the student to verify his/her eligibility and to determine if taking dual enrollment courses threatens their MSHSAA eligibility.

8. Students are responsible for all applications, tuition, books, and fees at the participating college or university. Students are responsible for transportation and meals.

9. Students must provide verification of enrollment from the college prior to the first day of each semester. A copy of the registration statement or schedule is sufficient.

10. Students must remain enrolled in the dual enrollment course for the entire semester. If a student drops, is dismissed from, withdraws from, or fails to attend a dual enrollment course, then they will return to a traditional 7-hour schedule at their high school. If this occurs, it may not be possible to earn credits in the classes that replace the dual enrollment course(s).

11. Students at FHSD high schools must complete 24 credits in order to graduate. If dual enrollment courses are intended to be part of those 24 credits and the student drops, is dismissed from, withdraws from, or fails to attend a dual enrollment class, then the student could potentially be at risk of having their diploma withheld until such time as they have completed 24 credits.

12. Students will provide verification of course completion including the grade earned for the dual enrollment course. 13. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm that their dual enrollment courses will transfer to other colleges or universities. 14. A separate form must be submitted for approval for each course being taken.
