604.6E1 - Post-Secondary Class Agreement Policy

As a student, I wish to take an online class or enroll in the Career Academy. This might be an AP class, a Post-Secondary Enrollment class, or at the Career Academy class. This does not include concurrent enrollment classes taught by FHS instructors. I understand that there are certain risks that go along with taking an online class or college level classes.

  1. The grading curve will be set by the online or academy teacher and may not align with the grading curve of FHS. When taking the class, you are subject to that grading scale. The grade given is what will be shown on your report card and transcript.
  2. The institution from which you enroll will be setting the time frame of the class. It may or may not be aligned to the FHS schedule. By selecting this class, you are agreeing to their time frame. This could mean you start the class before the school year starts or complete it when FHS is not in session.
  3. Technology is not always available and may fail at times. This could mean that class work will need to be done outside the normal school day.
  4. The instructor of the online class is not always readily available. It is the student's responsibility to learn the material and complete the assignments. FHS teachers are not assigned to assist with online course completion. This is an individual choice and students are choosing to take on the challenging course work.
  5. Students are expected to finish the online class in the intended time frame. All rules and regulations about students dropping the class will follow the same policies as for a Fairfield High School class.
  6. Students who fail (or drop after the deadline) a Post-Secondary Enrollment Option class will reimburse the school district by June 30, at a rate of $250 per class.
  7. FHS or IHCC will provide the books for these classes for student use. At the completion of the class, the books need to be returned to FHS or IHCC.

 

 

I agree to these terms and conditions.
