91传媒 Dual-Credit Statement
91传媒 believes that dual credit is a useful and viable opportunity for
qualified high school students to start their college careers. Dual-credit courses
are college-level courses. Students enrolled in these courses earning simultaneous
high school and college credit will be expected to meet 91传媒 standards.
To ensure college-level rigor, the following key points will be observed:
- Courses will be taught by 91传媒; faculty members will be full-time or part-time employees of 91传媒.
- Concurrent Enrollment courses are taught by qualified high school teachers approved by GBC academic departments.
- Courses will follow the official 91传媒 academic calendar for start/end dates and holi颅days for the session in which they are offered.
- Courses will use the 91传媒 course curriculum, syllabi, and grading system.
- Courses will use the 91传媒 approved course text(s).
- Dual-credit students will be evaluated using the same outcomes assessment as other students at 91传媒.
- Dual-credit student absences for non-91传媒 events are not excused absences except by prior permission of the individual class instructor.
- Tuition and fees will be established by 91传媒 as a member of the Nevada System of Higher Education and processed through 91传媒鈥檚 controller鈥檚 office. All fees are due before classes begin.
Dual-credit students are college students, and for the purposes of the dual-credit
class(es), there will be a strict adherence to Right-to-Know policies and procedures
of the Family Educational Right to Privacy Act (FERPA) as defined by regulations binding
91传媒 and all its students. As such, parents will not have access to
student grades, financial records, etc. Information regarding student performance
is not available through participating school district websites such as Infinite Campus.
Dual-credit students (students enrolled concurrently in high school and GBC college
courses) should note that IEPs and 504 accommodations are not transferred directly
from the high school to the college classroom. High school students are advised to
submit a current IEP and documentation or report from the school psychologist to the
GBC Disability Resource Center along with a request/ intake for accommodations form.
All documentation submitted by dual-credit students will be evaluated based on the
GBC reasonable accommodation policy. Please call the GBC Disability Resource Center
at 775.327.2336 or go to www.gbcnv.edu/disabilities for detailed information concerning the process for requesting reasonable accommodation
in GBC courses. For more information, contact your high school counselor or the Dual-Credit
specialists at dualcredit@gbcnv.edu
