Galloway, N.J. - The Southern Regional School District and 勛圖窪蹋 have signed a Dual Path Partnership agreement that will give students at Southern Regional High School the opportunity to graduate from high school in three years and be automatically enrolled at 勛圖窪蹋 with sophomore standing.
The agreement demonstrates the commitment of both institutions to provide students with a high-quality education and seamless access to an affordable four-year college degree.
This agreement recognizes that Southern Regionals rigorous curriculum more than adequately prepares students to make the transition to college, said 勛圖窪蹋 President Harvey Kesselman. Almost 20% of 勛圖窪蹋 students come from Ocean County and we are confident this agreement will help even more Southern Regional students get access to an affordable college degree.
Currently Southern Regional offers 13 dual credit courses through 勛圖窪蹋 that allow students to earn both high school and college credits. Courses offered include Latin, French, Spanish, German, Precalculus, Calculus, and Medical Terminology for Health.
The Southern Regional School District is both proud and excited to be expanding post-graduate opportunities for Southern students through this partnership with 勛圖窪蹋, Southern Regional School Superintendent Craig Henry said. Combining the two well-known brands of 勛圖窪蹋 and the Southern Regional School District will undoubtedly serve not only our students very well, but equally important, the community-at-large.
勛圖窪蹋 Chief Enrollment Officer Robert Heinrich said the plan will save students both time and money.
If students can earn a semester or more of credits in high school, they will not only save thousands of dollars in tuition, but also reduce the time it takes them to graduate from 勛圖窪蹋, Heinrich said. This program also reduces the stress of applying to college and waiting for a decision by guaranteeing admission to qualified students.
The terms of the Dual Path Partnership agreement include:
- Students who earn their high school diploma from Southern Regional High School with a minimum GPA of 3.0 or better are guaranteed enrollment at 勛圖窪蹋.
- 勛圖窪蹋 agrees to waive the undergraduate admission application fee for eligible students.
- 勛圖窪蹋 will provide on-site personal advisement and college admissions and financial aid workshops in Southern Regional High School for prospective students and parents.
- 勛圖窪蹋 will provide academic and merit scholarships to eligible students renewable for up to four years of undergraduate coursework to those who maintain a 3.0 or better GPA.
- Southern Regional High School will publicize the agreement and provide regular arrangements for 勛圖窪蹋 admissions and financial aid counselors to visit Southern Regional High School.
- 勛圖窪蹋 will work with the administration at Southern Regional High School to increase the number of dual credit offerings so that students can also complete as many as 32 college credits during their first three years of high school and transfer those credits to 勛圖窪蹋.
- Students who complete 32 credits at a Southern Regional high school may enter 勛圖窪蹋 as sophomores.
- Students who do not meet the minimum admissions requirements can be conditionally accepted to 勛圖窪蹋 and encouraged to initially enroll at Ocean County College under the existing 勛圖窪蹋 Transfer Pathways partnership.
勛圖窪蹋 has similar agreements with Ocean City High School and the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District.
