The College Access Challenge Grant (CACG) is a grant designed to foster partnerships among Federal, State and local government entities and philanthropic organizations to significantly increase the number of underrepresented students who enter and remain in postsecondary education. CACG provides grants to states to meet the needs of underrepresented students and families.

Underrepresented students will be identified through a brief application process initiated by school staff and sent to the Dual Credit Coordinator.

Please note: A request for funds is not a guarantee of funding. Students are responsible for dual credit tuition costs not funded by CACG.

INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR FUNDING!

Grades

Dual credit students are held to the same course content standards and standards of achievement as those expected of students in post

-secondary courses. Dual credit students are assessed using the same

methods (e.g. papers, portfolios, quizzes, labs, etc.) as their on-campus

counterparts. Postsecondary courses administered through the Dual

Credit program reflect the pedagogical, theoretical, and philosophical orientation of the sponsoring faculty and/or academic department at CWI. Any grade appeals follow the policies described in the CWI Cata-log. Students may view their grades through the myCWI student por-tal. If you are receiving high school credit your school may require an official transcript as record of your grade and credit hours. Without a Dual Credit Student Records Release & Consent Form on file, the insti-tution will not release academic information to parents. Please be aware that your grade does go on your permanent academic

tran-script.

Drop and Withdrawal Procedures

Dual credit students can only drop/withdraw from courses by

sub-mitting an Add/Drop form directly to the CWI Dual Credit Office. Being dropped from a course for non-payment is not a guarantee.

Students taking Dual Credit courses at a high school campus will have

different drop and withdrawal deadlines than course taken on campus or online. Please review the included CWI Student Checklist for addi-tional information. Deadlines are published in the official academic

calendar each semester for on campus and online courses and within

this packet for courses offered at high schools. Students dropping

courses prior to the drop deadline are entitled to 100 percent refunds of tuition and fees. A dropped course does not generate a permanent academic record. All class drops must be officially recorded by the College by completing an Add/Drop form and submitting it to the Dual

Credit Office. Classes may NOT be dropped by telephone or e-mail.

Failing to drop by this method may result in an outstanding debt to the College as well as a permanent academic transcript record with a grade of “F”. Once the drop deadline has passed, students may

with-draw from courses or completely withwith-draw from all courses taken on campus or online that are a full semester in length through Friday of

the twelfth week of class for fall and spring semesters or Friday of the sixth week of class for the summer semester; courses offered at the high school will have until the withdrawal deadline provided in this

packet. A withdrawn course generates a permanent academic tran-script record with a grade of "W". This is considered an unsuccessful attempt and can have impact on a student’s financial aid eligibility. Students who withdraw from courses after the census date are NOT entitled to refunds and the full balance owed remains due and paya-ble to CWI.

Payment Policies

1. Students will be charged the $65 per credit tuition rate as

estab-lished by the State Board of Education Council on Academic Affairs and Programs (CAAP) plus any additional online or lab fees

associated with the courses for which they enroll.

2. Books and materials are the responsibility of the student.

3. Students who do not make payment in full by the appropriate

deadline will be charged a $50 late fee and may be dropped from

courses for nonpayment. Please review the included Student

Checklist for additional information on these dates.

4. Payment may be made online via myCWI, at the CWI Dual Credit

Office, or at any of the CWI One Stop Student Services locations.

5. Students, and their cosigner if required, will be bound by the

“Dual Credit Payment Agreement” that appears on the back page of the Dual Credit Registration Form included in this packet.

Official Transcripts

Order official transcripts online at www.studentclearinghouse.org.

Please make sure to request these transcripts from the College of Southern Idaho as CWI delivers college credit instruction through its’ memorandum of understanding with CSI. Requests received without the appropriate fees will NOT be processed. Official CWI transcripts will not be released if there are HOLDS (financial or other) on the

stu-dent's account. Until financial obligations are cleared by the student (or stayed by bankruptcy proceedings or discharged in bankruptcy) CWI will not issue official transcripts. Students have a right to review the records and to request a hearing if they believe that no debt is

owed or the amount of debt is incorrect. CWI will not issue transcripts

of work completed at other institutions, students need to order

direct-ly from the original source.
