Scheduling Procedures and Considerations

Enrollment Instructions for Students As a student enrolled in Abilene High School, you are given the opportunity to select coursework each spring for the following year. This guide is designed to aid you in making appropriate choices by providing brief program and course descriptions, prerequisites and other information related to this process. It is important that you: • involve your parents in course selection, • make certain you meet the prerequisites, • keep high school graduation requirements in mind, and • keep career objectives in mind.

In order to complete registration successfully, you are urged to follow the steps identified below: • READ the curriculum guide carefully, • REVIEW the list of graduation requirements and determine which requirements have been met and

which courses need to be taken next year. Consider courses which need to be repeated because of lost credit,

• TALK to your parents and teachers about course selections and appropriate academic levels that will allow you to experience optimal success,

• SELECT courses that will correspond to or complement your goals for the future, and • Remember that if you are CAPABLE and COMMIT to a course, you are expected to COMPLETE the

course.

Course selection represents a commitment on the part of the student and parent to complete the schedule of classes chosen. Thus, students and parents should remember to carefully weigh the student’s past performance, teacher recommendations, ability, motivation, and extracurricular activities when selecting courses for the coming year. The administration reserves the right to make necessary changes at any time during the school year based on changing school enrollment, class size, and teacher load.

Important Information • Courses listed in the enrollment booklet may not appear on the final master schedule due to low

requests for enrollment or other reasons the course could not be offered. Check year offered as some classes are not offered every year.

• Courses listed in the enrollment booklet may not be offered every year. • Students may not change classes later than 10 class days after the beginning of the semester.

Students dropping or changing classes after this deadline may forfeit credits and receive an F. Dropping or changing classes after this deadline will require principal approval.

• Eight units are considered a normal load for all grades. No student may carry less than eight units except by permission of the principal.

• You must make sure you have the prerequisites before attempting to enroll in a class. • Students may have two assistantships per semester, which includes Elementary, Middle School, and

High School Assistantships, or Workplace Experience placements. No student may have more than two assistantships except by permission of the principal.

• The following courses may be taken more than once for credit: Advanced Tech Lab, AHS Singers, Band, Assistantships, Concert Choir, Cowboy Creations, Debate, Forensics, Graphic Design, Jazz Band, Peer Tutors, Weight Training, Workplace Experience.

- 4 -

• Failure to complete a required course successfully will require re-‐enrolling the course. • To participate in any activity a student must carry 2.5 credits per semester.

Schedule Change Rules Schedule changes will only be made for the following reasons:

1. You are not enrolled in a required class. 2. You are enrolled in a class for which you have already received credit. 3. You have not met prerequisites. 4. Your schedule is incomplete 5. Your teacher recommends you advance to a higher level course or move out of the course due to

1st semester failure. So, if you COMMIT to the course (by enrolling and parents signing off) and you are CAPABLE (teacher gives consent), then you are expected to COMPLETE the course.

Having Trouble in Class?? What do you do when you are having trouble in a class?

You need to speak directly with your teacher. Ask what you can work on and where your grades are lower/higher. Can you better prepare for tests? What extra help or practice work is available?

Concurrent Classes

AHS offers several classes that can be completed for college credit. Students will take these courses at AHS but can enroll for college credit. Students must enroll in the high school course and meet college admission requirements. See course descriptions for specific requirements for each course. These courses require the purchase of college texts, and that the student pay tuition, fees, and any supplemental costs associated with the class.

Salina Area Technical College Qualified juniors and seniors are able to apply to take classes from Salina Area Technical College (SATC). Students must be accepted in the program at SATC and take an exam to qualify. SATC courses are available on a limited basis according to availability. Students will enroll in classes as they would if they were attending AHS all day and then begin the application process. When and if the student is approved by SATC for the course they have applied for – the student will be enrolled in SATC and their AHS schedule will be changed. You can view the classes offered at http://www.salinatech.edu/high-‐school-‐students.html or Appendix D.

Graduation Requirements

In order to graduate from Abilene High School, 26 or 26.5 credits are required in specific areas. Classes of 2018 and 2019 will have the new 26.5 required credits for graduation. Classes of 2016 and 2017 will remain at 26 credits. Most semester long courses are worth 0.5 credits. When high school courses are repeated at the request of the student, the letter grade earned in both courses will be entered on the official student transcript.

- ACT score of at least 21; OR - SAT score of at least 980; OR - Graduate in the top 1/3rd of your class.

If you enroll in college courses while you are in high school, it is also required that you achieve a 2.0 GPA or higher in those courses.

QUALIFIED ADMISSIONS PRECOLLEGE CURRICULUM Kansas Course Codes are used to identify courses that fulfill Qualified Admissions curriculum requirements. A complete list of courses is available at the Kansas Board of Regents website: kansasregents.org/qualified_admissions. Additionally, your high school counselor has a list of courses at your high school that fulfill these requirements.

One unit is equivalent to one year, or two semesters. Dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, and online courses may be used to fulfill the Qualified Admissions curriculum requirements. All courses must appear on your high school transcript, and courses completed in middle school or junior high do not fulfill the Qualified Admissions Math requirements.

What is the Kansas Scholars Curriculum? The Kansas Scholars Curriculum is one of the requirements Kansas residents must meet in order to receive State Scholar designation during the Senior year. This curriculum is NOT the same as the Qualified Admissions Curriculum. What are the other requirements to become a State Scholar? • Students must have taken the ACT between April

of the sophomore year and December of the senior year.

• Students must be a Kansas resident. • Students must have their curriculum and 7th

semester GPA certified on the official roster by the high school counselor, registrar, or similar official.

What is the benefit of completing the Kansas Scholars Curriculum? Students that complete the curriculum, and meet the other requirements, may be designated as State Scholars, which makes them eligible to receive State Financial Aid as provided by the Kansas Legislature. The academic profile of scholars included an average ACT of 30 and an average GPA of 3.90. State Scholars may receive up to $1,000 annually for up to four undergraduate years (five, if enrolled in a designated five-year program) based on financial need and the availability of State funds. How is financial need determined? Financial need is measured by the Federal Methodology using data submitted on the FAFSA.

English Same as the Qualified Admissions Curriculum.

3 approved units including: • Biology • Chemistry • Physics

A fourth year of science is recommended.

Math

4 approved units. Students must complete the following:

• Algebra I* • Algebra II • Geometry

Appendix E

Pursuing a 2-‐Year College Community Colleges in the state of Kansas do not require specific high school coursework other than requiring graduation from an accredited Kansas high School. There is also no ACT score requirement, however entrance exams may be required to qualify for certain programs or for placement in specific classes.

Pursuing a Vocational or Technical School Vocational and technical schools in the state of Kansas do not require specific high school coursework other than requiring graduation from an accredited Kansas high school. There is also no ACT score requirement, however, entrance exams may be required to qualify for certain programs or for placement in specific classes.

Pursuing a Military Career To join the military after high school, a student must graduate from high school. Students are encouraged to take the ASVAB during high school during their junior and senior years to help gage military career interests and abilities. Recruiters from branches of the military visit AHS and students are encouraged to visit with the recruiters to gain more information.

If a student wishes to gain admission to a military academy, we would suggest contacting a recruiter for these institutions as soon as possible in order to tailor your high school coursework toward that goal. These positions are highly competitive and leadership experience is an important factor in admission.

Pursuing an Apprenticeship Apprenticeship is a system designed to train employees in skilled fields. In many cases, the apprenticeship combines employment, on-‐the-‐job learning overseen by a mentor and related technical instruction that may be provided by community or technical colleges or other learning providers. You can find out more about registered apprenticeships in Kansas at http://www.kansasapprenticeship.org.

Appendix F

Pursuing 4-‐Year College Athletics: NCAA Division I & II and NAIA Athletes that are interested in playing sports in college should:

Academic Redshirt: College-bound student-athletes may receive athletics scholarships during their first year of enrollment and may practice during their first regular academic term but may NOT compete during their first year of enrollment. Nonqualifier: College-bound student-athletes cannot practice, receive athletics scholarships or compete during their first year of enrollment at an NCAA Division I school. After August 1, 2016 1. A college-bound student-athlete completes nine core courses prior to the seventh semester of high school.

However, he/she is an academic redshirt because only nine of the 10 required courses were completed before the seventh semester. He/she would be permitted to practice and receive scholarships, provided he/she presents 16 core courses and meets the minimum core-course GPA and test-score requirement at the time of graduation.

2. A college-bound student-athlete completes 16 core courses in the required coursework with a 2.300 core-

course GPA and a 79 sum ACT. The college-bound student-athlete is full qualifier under the new sliding scale because the minimum GPA requirement is 2.300 with an ACT sum score of at least 75.

3. A college-bound student-athlete completes 15 core courses with a 2.500 core-course GPA and an 820 SAT

score (critical reading and math). The college-bound student-athlete is a nonqualifier because only 15 core courses were completed, not the required 16 core courses.

High School Student Registration Checklist Registering with the NAIA Eligibility Center is easy. Follow this simple, step-by-step checklist to help you through the process and get registered today!

Step One: Create an account at PlayNAIA.org using a valid email address. End of junior year of high school

Start the process by visiting: www.PlayNAIA.org and clicking on “Register to Play.” Step Two: Validate email address.

A validation email is generated immediately after clicking submit on the first screen, so if it does not appear in your inbox right away, be sure to check your spam or junk folder.

Step Three: Pay registration fee.

The registration fee is $70 for U.S. students and $120 for international students. Fee waivers are available based on need. Details about waivers can be found on the Fees/Payment page of the website.

Step Four: Complete profile.

The registration profile includes two sections: 1) About me – provide basic information about yourself and the sports you plan to play; and 2) Tell My Story – list the schools you attended and list any competitive experience you have had in your sport since the September 1 following high school graduation (if applicable).

Step Five: Review and submit profile.

After filling out the profile, be sure to review your information on the Profile Summary page to make sure it is accurate and complete before clicking “submit.” The NAIA Eligibility Center still needs a few more things before your eligibility can be determined. Incoming freshmen must meet TWO out of three requirements to be eligible to PlayNAIA.

1. Minimum 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale 2. Graduation in the top half of class 3. Cumulative score of at least 18 on the ACT or 860 on the SAT

Step Six: Send test scores. Beginning of senior year of high school

When you register to take the ACT or SAT, use the NAIA Eligibility Center code to have the test scores sent to the NAIA Eligibility Center directly from the testing service. Only test scores sent directly from the testing agency are accepted.

Step Seven: Send official high school transcript. After high school graduation OR after junior year

After high school graduation, you must have your high school send a final, official transcript to the NAIA Eligibility Center at the address below. If class rank is not part of your official transcript, the high school can send an additional letter on official school letterhead confirming graduation in the top half of your class.

http://www.playnaia.org/

http://www.playnaia.org/page/fees.php

Early Decisions If you have at least a “B” average after junior year or a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale midway through senior year and the required test scores, you qualify to receive an early decision! Have your official transcripts through junior year or after 7 semesters of high school sent to the NAIA Eligibility Center. Transcripts and letters can be sent to:

NAIA Eligibility Center P.O. Box 15340

Kansas City, MO 64106 Some high schools can send transcripts using electronic transcript services. The NAIA Eligibility Center accepts electronic transcripts from Docufide by Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, ConnectEdu, e-Script Safe and the National Transcript Center.

Step Eight: Choose whether or not to participate in the optional NAIA Connections service. End of junior year

NAIA Connections allows you to create a Sport Resume that can be shared with NAIA schools. You can highlight athletic and academic achievements in the Sport Resume, and then use the enhanced search feature to find NAIA schools that match your college preferences. After researching NAIA schools, you can select up to five schools to send your Sport Resume. Checking Eligibility Status Once you have completed the registration process, AND test scores and transcripts are received, an NAIA Eligibility Center manager will review the material and determine your initial eligibility. You can view your status in the determination process at any time by logging into PlayNAIA.org and viewing your custom To Do List. Priority for review is given to students who appear on a “Short List” for any NAIA school. A Short List includes each NAIA school’s most serious recruits and is built by the school’s staff. Questions? NAIA Eligibility Center staff members are available to answer questions students may have regarding their registration. Any time the student contacts the NAIA Eligibility Center, the student must be prepared to provide his or her Eligibility Center ID# and answer to the security question. The NAIA Eligibility Center may be contacted at:
