Dual Enrollment Statistics

Dual Enrollment Statistics

• 4 Simple Steps!

2
There Are 4 Steps to Enroll

• Apply to the Early College Program
• Meet the prerequisites
• Register for the class
• Pay for the class

3
Step 1 - Applying

• If you applied to the ECP last year for another
  dual enrollment class, youve already done this.
• Otherwise, go to apply.isu.edu to apply.
• Be sure to select the application type Early
  College Program.
• The registration is free, but last year the site
  mentioned a 50 charge, which was also not true
  then.

4
Step 1 - Applying

• Then you have to get the High School Verification
  form filled out.
• You, your parents, and your school councilor need
  to sign it.
• Then, the form needs to find its way to the ECP
  office. It can be mailed, faxed, taken in
  person, or if necessary even sent with me.
• I might be up to a week delivering it as I do not
  get to leave Highland often before the ECP office
  closes.

5
Step 1 - Applying

• Once the online registration is completed and the
  form is submitted, you are mailed your logins for
  BengalWeb.
• This usually takes a few days (2-3).

6
Step 2 - Qualifying

• Not just anyone can dually enroll in stats
  through ISU.
• You are required to have
• An SAT math score of 540 or higher.
• An ACT math subscore of 25 or higher.
• A 47 or higher on the Compass Test for College
  Algebra.

7
Step 2 - Qualifying

• If your ACT score was high enough and you listed
  ISU as one of the schools to send it to when you
  took the test, they already have the score.
• If your ACT score was high enough but you did not
  list ISU, you could still qualify, but you will
  have to pay to have the score sent to ISU.

8
Step 2 - Qualifying

• If you need to take the compass test for the
  first time, call the testing center and make an
  appointment.
• [phone]
• If you need to take the compass test a second
  time, you can see myself or perhaps Mary Johnston
  for advice on how to score better on the compass
  test. You will still need to call the testing
  center and make an appointment.

9
Step 2 - Qualifying

• The compass test costs 7 each time you take it,
  but the first time you take it, they will waive
  the cost if you are an Early College Program
  applicant.
• You can take the compass test once a day.
• Even if you get even a 46, I probably cannot get
  an override, and you will probably need to retake
  it.
• The override takes time, even if I can get one,
  so Id need to start that pretty much right away.

10
Step 2 - Qualifying

• If you took the compass test before you applied
  to the ECP, they may need to manually enter the
  compass test score for you.
• This can have a 24-48 hour turnover time.
• Punchline The last minute is too late to get on
  this stuff.
• Start today!

11
Step 3 - Registering

• Once you meet the pre-requisites, you will need
  to log in (with the logins that were mailed to
  you) and register for my Math 1153 class.
• You need to register for the hour you are in this
  trimester.
• Do not register for the wrong hour, please.

12
Step 3 - Registering

• You have to register by October 10th.
• Even though registering only takes 2-3 minutes,
  the journey to be able to register is much more
  time consuming.
• If you do not unregister (drop) the class by
  October 10thyou are stuck with the fee, even if
  you later withdraw.

13
Step 4 Paying

• It is 195 for dual enrollment tuition.
• This is less than the cost of 1 credit at normal
  price.
• Once you register, but before you pay, a
  scholarship can be applied for, but many of these
  have deadlines even earlier than October 1st.
• You are unlikely to qualify for most of the
  scholarships unless you qualify for free/reduced
  lunch.

14
Step 4 Paying

• Payment is made at the administration building.
• If you drop the class before October 10th, but
  you did pay already, there is a 25 refund
  processing fee.
• If you are not sure if you will take dual
  enrollment, hold off on paying until you are
  sure.
• But go ahead and register now.

15
Step 4 Paying

• After October 10th, there are no refunds.
• After October 10th, if you transfer to another
  school, have a schedule conflict, just decide not
  to stay in the class, or decide you do not want
  to be dually enrolled, then you can withdraw from
  the class (which is much more complicated than
  dropping it).
• But you get no refund.

The Way of the Quiz

• That You Might Learn

23
Advanced Vocabulary!

• Harbinger A sign or message of what is to come,
  or else the person who delivers such a message or
  sign.
• My quizzes typically are accompanied by three
  harbingers.
• The first harbinger is the set of quiz
  bulletpoints.
• The second harbinger is the practice quiz/quiz
  review.
• The third harbinger is the lunchtime study
  session which I host to avoid loneliness.

24
The 1st Harbinger

• Quiz bulletpoints are awesome!
• They have a 1-to-1 correspondence with the quiz.
• This means that if there are 5 bulletpoints
  given, it is a 5 question quiz.
• And each bulletpoint, in order, matches a
  question on that quiz.
• They allow you to focus, somewhat, your efforts
  when studying for the quiz.

25
The 2nd Harbinger

• Practice quizzes are often posted before the
  quiz.
• Sometimes this means the night before the quiz.
• I do not promise this will always occur, but it
  will happen often enough.
• Even if you do not make time to look at it,
  printing it and bringing that to the lunchtime
  session is often worth your time.

26
The 3rd Harbinger

• The day of a quiz, and usually the day of a test
  as well as a day or two before, I find a way to
  be available during as much of lunch as possible.
• I am there to answer questions you have about the
  quiz.
• If you are nervous about the quiz, come on in
  even if you do not have specific questions.
• You might learn things just from listening to me
  answer someone elses questions.

27
Quiz Bulletpoints

• Know the e-mail address and website for this
  class. (As in, memorize.)
• Be able to explain the purpose one of the 5
  responses I have to cheating might serve.
• Know rules 1, 2, 4, and 8.
• Know what T-S-T stands for and the purpose of
  each part.
• Be able to explain how each of the 4 Cs relates
  to statistical communication.
