BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT

Grades & Transcripts

iCAN courses(s) provide high school AND college credit.

Grades are on a traditional grading scale.

Course Rigor & Curriculum

Courses move at a faster pace.

16 weeks of curriculum is similar to 1 year of a high school course.

College courses have homework.

A 3-unit course will have approximately 6-9 hours of homework.
Extensions/late submissions of course work are at the discretion of the instructor.
Extra credit is typically NOT offered in college courses.

Student Responsibility

Attend every class and be on time.

Excessive tardiness can be counted as an unexcused absence.
Excessive absences can result in being dropped by the instructor. This could negatively impact your college transcripts and jeopardize high school graduation.

Come prepared to every class.

Be familiar with the instructor’s course syllabus.
Complete all required reading assignments and homework assignments, participation in class discussions/posts and/or group work.
If you have questions or need help, ASK! Your instructor also has office hours embedded into the dual enrollment course meeting time.

Follow college rules, regulations, and deadlines as published in the school calendar/catalog and on course syllabus.
Regularly check your COC Canvas and MyCanyons student email for course/college information.
