Early College Credit/Start College Now Opportunities The Early College Credit/Start College Now Programs allows public high school students who meet certain requirements to take post secondary courses at a UW system college or university, a Wisconsin technical college, a Wisconsin private, nonprofit college or university or a Wisconsin tribally-controlled college. Approved courses count toward high school graduation and college credit. The school board will determine if the college course can be taken for high school credit and is not comparable to a current course offered by the district. The district will pay the cost of tuition and fees and the student will receive both high school and college credit unless the student fails to complete or get a passing grade in the course. The high school credit will count toward the student meeting high school graduation requirements needed to earn a high school diploma. Eligibility The Early College Credit/Start College Now Programs are available to public school students who meet these requirements: ❖ Have completed the 10th grade (specific to Start College Now Program). ❖ To attend a technical college, students must be in good academic standing and have an acceptable disciplinary record. ❖ Apply to the postsecondary institution in the school semester prior to the one in which the pupil plans to attend the postsecondary course. ❖ Notify the school board of the pupil’s intention of enrolling in a postsecondary institution no later than March 1 for a course to be taken in the fall semester; October 1 for a course to be taken in the spring semester. See Forms You Need section below. ❖ Maintain satisfactory attendance and comply with the compulsory school attendance law under 118.15(1)(a) Wis. Stats. Forms You Need: An Early College Credit Program Agreement Form or Start College Now Application is used to notify the school board of a pupil’s participation in the program(s). It may be obtained from the Kiel High School Counseling Office or the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Students will also need to complete the appropriate college admission steps after district approval of courses. Children with a Disability: Students with a disability are encouraged to participate in the Early College Credit Program or Start College Now Program. The school board may refuse to permit a pupil with a disability to attend a technical college if the cost would impose an undue financial burden on the school district. Payment of Tuition and Fees: The school board must pay for any course that is taken for high school credit and is not comparable to a course offered in the school district. A pupil must pay for any postsecondary course taken that is comparable to a course offered at the school district. A pupil must pay for a postsecondary course that is not used for high school credit. The school board must pay for the cost of any books and fees for approved courses and materials for students attending an IHE. The student is to return any books purchased by Kiel Area School District to the high school counseling department. A student must pay for incidental college fees (parking permits) and for equipment, tools, supplies and consumables (workbooks, notebooks, uniforms) which become property of the student. 6
The student will be required to reimburse the school district for tuition and fees if the student drops or fails the course. Determining High School Credit/Comparability: The school board determines whether a postsecondary course is eligible for high school credit, how much high school credit may be awarded, and whether the course is comparable to a course offered at the school district. Appeals: A pupil may appeal a school board’s decision regarding awarding of high school credit/comparability of a postsecondary course to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction within 30 days of receiving notification from the school district. Transportation: Parents or pupils are responsible for transportation between the school and the college. Transportation assistance is available from the DPI for low-income parents (eligible for free/reduced lunch under the federal school lunch program). Transportation costs may only be reimbursed if the pupil is taking a postsecondary course for high school credit. A claim for transportation reimbursement is available from the Kiel High School Counseling Office or the DPI and must be submitted to the DPI no later than 30 days after the end of the school semester to which the claim pertains. Students are to use the least expensive, safe means of transportation possible. Additional Information Additional information including forms, answers to common questions, timelines, contact persons, administrative rules is available at: http://dpi.wi.gov/dual-enrollment 7
Dual-Credit Opportunities AP - Advanced Placement AP is a program of college-level courses and exams that give high school students the opportunity to receive advanced placement and/or credit in college. Teachers of AP classes may provide the course text, syllabus, and recommended list of readings for students interested in starting course work during the summer or prior to the AP course beginning. If a student is doing college level work in high school - in an AP or honors course, through independent study, AP examinations may be taken at the conclusion of the course work. The score on the AP exam determines college credit and advanced placement in college. Check with individual college/university requirements for credit or placement. For all UW schools, you can also check on the web at uwhelp.wisconsin.edu/admission/ap.asp AP Courses AP Language & Composition AP Literature AP Biology AP Chemistry AP Calculus AB AP Calculus BC AP U.S. History CCIHS - College Credits in High School CCIHS courses are college courses offered at KHS.

Enrollment in a vocational education program is not required. 10
HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM PLANNING Selection of High School Courses Students and parents are asked to carefully plan course selections each year. A student’s selection of courses should have direction and purpose. Choosing classes with a definite goal in mind will better prepare the student for the future. Course selections should reflect a student’s interests, abilities and goals. In summary, course selections should: Course Selection Changes Students will have a determined window of time after the initial scheduling process in which they can make course request changes. Students will be informed of the window. Once the window closes, requests to CHANGE course selections must meet the following guidelines: General Guidelines for Class Schedule Changes: 1. Changes may be made upon recommendation of a teacher, principal, and/or a school counselor, in order to improve the overall school schedule and/or to correct an inappropriate class placement. 2. Any change in a schedule must be initiated in time for a student to make the physical change in classes by the end of the first week of the course. Guidelines for Requesting a Schedule Change shall be followed in changing class schedules to provide a procedure to meet specific student needs: 1. Classes cannot be added or dropped beyond the first week of a term. Exceptions may be made if an online course is added to a student’s schedule. 2. Seniors must maintain at least 6 credits; all other students must maintain 8 credits. 3. The following are allowable reasons for requesting a schedule change: A. Mistake on a schedule – having a class that you didn’t sign up for, missing a required class, two classes scheduled at the same time, unbalanced schedule etc. B. Inappropriate class placement – not having the necessary prerequisites for a class, or the teacher and counselor recommend a change to correct an inappropriate class placement. C. Change in post-secondary plans (seniors only) – Schedule changes to accommodate changes in postsecondary plans will only be permitted in order to ADD a specific course or courses necessary to support those plans. D. Students cannot repeat a course they have passed to receive additional credit. Students will not be allowed to drop a class for reasons related to academic performance (unless the teacher of the course determines that there was an inappropriate class placement). 11
Full Credit Class Schedule Changes A student who is registered for a full credit class is expected to continue the class until completion. Exceptions will be made ONLY when a teacher and school counselor intervenes to correct an inappropriate class placement. Course Selection Changes - continued Procedures for Adding or Dropping a Class 1. Classes may not be added after the first week into a course. (exception: an online course) 2. Classes may be dropped up to 1 week into the course and the student will be granted a “withdrawal” without penalty. Any classes dropped AFTER the first week of the course will result in the student receiving an end of semester grade of “W/F” for that class. 3. Any student wishing to drop a class must obtain written permission from a parent/guardian. An Add/Drop form will be issued by a school counselor, and must be returned to the School Counseling Office with the appropriate parent and teacher signatures before any schedule changes will be made. 12
Four Year University/College Course Requirements and Recommendations Requirements for admission into four year colleges or universities vary according to the specific school. The University of Wisconsin System and Wisconsin Independent Colleges and Universities recommends specific course selections to prepare the college bound student. The minimum course selections include 17 high school credits: English 4 credits Math 3 credits Algebra, Geometry and Algebra 2 Social Studies 3 credits Natural Science 3 credits 2 credits must be lab science Additional 4 credits may be chosen from English, mathematics, natural science, social science/history, foreign language, fine arts, computer science and other academic areas. Two years of a single foreign language is required for admission to UW-Madison and strongly recommended at other colleges/universities. Students are encouraged to exceed the minimum number of college preparatory credits required for admission. Strong academic preparation for college helps to ensure success. Students who choose a rigorous high school curriculum including senior year coursework are more successful in college. Colleges with highly selective admissions standards recommend four credits or more in academic areas. Wisconsin Technical Colleges Wisconsin Technical Colleges provide education and training in over 500 different specific career areas. Acceptance into technical colleges in Wisconsin requires a high school diploma, HSED or GED certificate. Technical colleges do not require the same types of courses required for admission into four year colleges. If planning to attend a technical college program of study, it is recommended to take as many high school courses as possible that are related to the student’s career choice. Laude Program A student can receive laude recognition by multiplying the number of advanced, transcripted or advanced placement courses by their individual cumulative grade point average. Students must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.4 to qualify for the program. The three levels of designation are cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude.

RECOMMENDED ELECTIVES FOR CAREER CLUSTERS The United States Department of Education divided the world of work into 16 groupings of occupations called Career Clusters. The groupings are based on common knowledge, skills and abilities required for success in a career cluster. Each career cluster is divided into career pathways because of the diversity and number of occupations within the career cluster. Career pathways are grouped by similar knowledge and skills required of occupations in the career field.
