Students are encouraged to check with each individual college of interest when planning high school courses due to variations in college entrance requirements. This can include contacting a college’s admissions office and/or visiting the college on campus or talking to a college representative at one of our college and career mini-fairs. College course/major requirements can be found on most college websites. Most colleges require at least 28 of the credits earned for high school graduation to be devoted to academic courses. College entrance requirements can change, so be sure to check each college’s website often.
Take recommended college preparatory courses. The preferred curriculum for the best preparation for college is the Indiana Academic Honors or Technical Honors Diploma. Indiana Core 40 is the minimum standard to be followed. Please note, college entrance requirements differ from high school diploma requirements.
Take a rigorous course load appropriate to the student.
Maintain the best possible grade point average (GPA).
Take the PSAT in the fall of the sophomore and junior year. Take the SAT and/or ACT in the winter/spring of the junior year and fall of the senior year. Be sure to send your SAT and ACT scores to Cloverdale High School (CEEB school code 150575) and up to 4 colleges for free from the testing agency.
College applications open August 1, so seniors are encouraged to apply early during the senior year. Some colleges and some highly competitive programs have earlier application deadlines.
Complete the FAFSA online after October 1 and submit by April 15 of the senior year to be considered for state and federal financial aid. Visit www.fafsa.ed.gov for more information on the FAFSA. Check with each college for their FAFSA deadline.
The schedule students receive is the schedule they are expected to follow for the school year. After the school year has started, students should not expect to change one course for another in their schedule. Therefore, it is important to plan carefully when making course selections.
Schedule changes will only be made for the following reasons:
The student needs to add a graduation requirement.
The student needs to retake a failed required class.
There is an IEP, a doctor’s order, or a court order.
There is an administrative need or a teacher recommendation.
Failing the first semester of a course is not a basis for dropping the second semester of a course.
