Reminders
Reminders When Making Your Decisions:
-
Each student must carry a minimum of 5 courses each semester not including physical education. Students cannot take more than 8 core academic courses per semester. Any exceptions must be approved by an administrator.
-
The program at Greeley has depth and breadth. Explore new areas available to you such as art, technology, music, drama, or business. Challenge yourself by taking courses that will be demanding but avoid “over scheduling” yourself.
-
All students should note that colleges are concerned with the academic strength of a student's program. When colleges evaluate a student transcript, the question always asked is, "What courses are offered at this high school, and how much has this applicant taken advantage of that opportunity?"
-
Additional course electives such as Tech Center offerings, are varied, challenging, and excellent preparation for college or the world of work.
A Note About Course Selection & the NCAA Eligibility Center
NCAA colleges require prospective student-athletes to complete and pass what they have titled “core courses” in order to be eligible to compete at the NCAA Division I and Division II college level. In addition to completing required core courses, potential recruits will also have to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA for core courses (which is subject to increase with new NCAA requirements).
