How are Credits Earned? What Courses are Available? When Can Students Enroll? Which Local School Districts Participate? Further Questions How are Credits Earned? Credits are earned at Thiel College while concurrently enrolled high school will count toward a student's high school graduation and will become a part of their college transcript. Final semester grades from Thiel College are transcribed to the student's high school transcript. Please see your home school's policy about grade-weighting as this is not a policy of Thiel College. Top What Courses are Available? Since funding for this program comes to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the federal No Child Left Behind Act, courses offered by Thiel College, in this program, must meet the objectives of No Child Left Behind. Freshman-level courses in English, foreign languages, mathematics, art, history, government, social science and science are usually funded. Students desiring coursework in other subject areas may consider entering our Thiel High School Scholars program. Top When Can Students Enroll? Thiel College offers informational meetings at participating schools during the late winter or early spring. The office of educational outreach will provide each school with a specific list of courses for following fall semester. Students and parents are informed about the program and guidance counselors work with students to determine if Thiel coursework could fit into their next year's schedule. Students then register for courses by completing designated registration form and their college schedule is mailed to their homes. It is also important for students to decide which courses they plan to take in the spring semester because the school district must request enough grant money to accommodate students for both the fall and spring semesters. Spring semester registration takes place in early November. The office of educational outreach will work with each guidance counselor to determine the appropriate schedule for each student. Top Which Local School Districts Participate in this Program? For the school year 2008-2009, Thiel College welcomes students from Jamestown, Greenville, Reynolds and Commodore Perry School Districts. We are also seeking relationships with other surrounding school districts at this time.
