SOAP (Standards of Academic Progress) -
The Edison community wants every student to succeed academically, personally and socially while enrolled at the College. In order to identify and provide help for those students having academic difficulty, the College has identified Standards of Academic Progress or S.O.A.P.
- to inform a student when s/he is not making appropriate academic progress
- to meet with an Academic Advisor or a Counselor to discuss ways of improving their academic status
- all degree programs at Edison as well as certificate programs require a minimum of a 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)
- letters are sent to students, via the US postal service, from The District Director of Counseling, Advising, & Assessment when the student is placed on any of the last four levels of SOAP
- Consult the college catalog for further information www.edison.edu/academics/20072008catalog.pdf
Specific Information for Accelerated Program Students:
Taking college classes while still in high school is indeed a wonderful opportunity for students. You may be thinking, however, if you are ready for such a commitment of time. Here is an idea of some characteristics that successful college students share:
-
self-motivated and able to work independently
-
avoid procrastination & demonstrate commitment throughout the semester
-
understand the difference between high school and college courses and take advantage of available college support services
-
schedule a specific time each week to work within the course materials and submit complete assignment on time
-
take clear concise notes and come prepared to take exams
Your high school guidance counselor or home schooled official will help you in your selection of college classes. You will be required to maintain an Edison cumulative GPA of 2.0 to remain eligible in the program. http://www.edison.edu/admissions/dualenrollment.php
