Nerinx Hall High School policies related to registration and enrollment. 1. Students may register for courses at Nerinx that are also eligible for college credit if they meet the department requirements for enrollment in the Nerinx course. 2. All tuition payments must be current or students will not be eligible to enroll in college credit class. III. Saint Louis University general information about policies and procedures & link to their page The home page for the Saint Louis University program is: A. Students and parents will find a sidebar with links to information specific to their needs and for access to the Saint Louis University program handbook. The home page also includes the program calendar which students and parents may quickly consult as they have questions about deadlines.

5 5 B. From the student page individuals may view requirements for program participation, directions on how to: register for the first time or as a returning student; pay a bill; reinstate courses for which payment was not received; transfer credits. There is also other valuable information. C. Some important things to know: There are many, so please take time to read information available on the website. Here are just a few highlights: The tuition bill is mailed to the student in the student s name, not the parent s name. Students may drop a class without penalty if they do so by the drop date. See Mrs. Hermann for assistance or follow the directions on line. Grades from courses are calculated into a student s Saint Louis University grade point average. College credits earned through the program are college credits ; an often overlooked consideration is that students must file a request with Saint Louis University to send their college transcript to colleges of their choice in order for the credit to be identified as college credit. Although Saint Louis University s website includes a transferability page, it also states: Students are urged to contact the institution of interest to inquire directly regarding institutional policy for accepting transfer credit from dual credit or concurrent enrollment courses such as 1818 Advanced College Credit. Some courses are accepted for elective credit while others meet specific graduation requirements. Qualifying sophomores may earn credit through level III Honors world languages courses if they are enrolled at Nerinx in those courses, See Mrs. Hermann. Students may register through Saint Louis University for not more than 11 credits per semester. Consequently, students who have some combinations of courses in their semester schedules may need to consider enrolling in some courses through the UMSL ACP program. There are only some courses for which students may make this choice. For example, a student whose schedule for second semester senior year might include: Physics Honors, Level 4 World Languages Honors, qualifying English Honors, and Humanities honors. Such a student would exceed the 11 credit limit through Saint Louis University; however, if one or more of those courses is offered through the UMSL ACP program, the student might register through UMSL for one or more of those courses instead of through Saint Louis University.
