ACA 122 - COLLEGE TRANSFER SUCCESS

ACA 122 is typically the first CFCC course that Cooperative Innovative High School (CIHS) students take at CFCC. It is taken during the student's 9th grade year and the WECHS Liaison will likely be the assigned instructor for WECHS students.

This course is designed to assist students in meeting the following objectives:

• Develop a plan for completing community college academic goals, including certificates, diplomas, and/or associate degrees.

• Develop a plan for transferring to a university.

• Identify the rights and responsibilities of transfer students under the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA), including Universal General Education Transfer Component (UGETC) designated courses, the Transfer Assured Admissions Policy (TAAP), the CAA appeals process, and university tuition surcharge.

• Evaluate learning strategies, including note-taking, test-taking, information processing, time management, and memorization techniques, and identify strategies for improvement.

• Identify essential college resources, including financial aid, advising, registration, tutoring, library services, computer labs, and counseling services and recognize the importance of these resources on student success.

• Identify essential college policies and procedures, including academic integrity such as avoiding plagiarism; calculating a GPA, and maintaining satisfactory academic progress for financial aid eligibility and/or good academic standing.
