  6. Being a Successful Student That’s YOU • What It Takes: • You may have the qualifying test scores, but we must look beyond this as the sole criteria! • Attendance • Grades • Room in your schedule • Extracurricular Activities • Maturity • Personal Accountability You know You best!!!

  7. College Course Expectations Early College Start • Ability to write college level research papers and/or essay style examinations •  Accountability for missed assignments; most college classes do not have “make up” assignments • Heavy reading expectations outside of the ACC class time • ACC classes on high school campuses ARE college courses and are subject to the ACC course curriculum regardless of the age of enrolled students. • In addition to attending a college class regularly, students will be expected to commit to 2 additional hours of study time to complete required reading and/or assignments to be successful.
