High school students taking dual credit classes at Frontier Community College, Lincoln Trail College, Olney Central College, and Wabash Valley College will get the chance to prepare with dual credit orientations. FCC, LTC, and OCC will host in-person sessions, and there will also be virtual sessions.
“Dual Credit Orientation is an introduction to what college classes are like,” says IECC Director of Dual Credit Erin Volk. “College classes are a change for high school students, and we want them to be prepared so they can be successful.”
IECC personnel who work with dual credit students will be in attendance during in-person orientations to present important information to the students and their parents and guardians.
“We want students to get prepared to start the year off right,” says IECC Director of Dual Credit Megan Black. “The dual credit orientation sessions will help students learn how to be successful, understand important details of dual credit, and get an opportunity to visit campus ahead of starting classes.”
The orientation sessions will give students a chance to meet key support staff, learn about their responsibilities and expectations in class, and review the academic calendar. The sessions also cover Entrata and Canvas, and cover accommodations for students with IEPs and 504 plans. Students attending the in-person sessions will get a chance to tour the campus.
There are in-person Dual Credit Orientation sessions on August 5 at Frontier Community College and Lincoln Trail College. FCC’s session is at 1 p.m., and LTC’s session is at 6 p.m. Olney Central College hosts a Dual Credit Orientation on August 7 at 1 p.m. There are online Dual Credit Orientations at 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on August 12.
