Time Management/Organization/Study Skills

I schedule my time well at school and outside of school.
I have a dedicated space and time when I can accomplish my college classwork, and I am comfortable limiting interruptions while I am doing my schoolwork.
I understand that a UCCS dual credit class requires up to 9 hours per week per class. I know I can set aside enough time for my dual credit class meetings and assignments.
I am self-motivated and I get started ahead of time on assignments, rather than waiting until the last minute to start.
I have a system for keeping up with dates that assignments/projects are due. I do not depend on the teacher or my family to continuously inform me of due dates.
I have excellent school and class attendance. When I do miss school, I independently reach out to the instructors and make up the work.

Self-Advocate

I am a student who has shown a readiness to perform college level work as proven by my overall good academic standing at my high school.
I am comfortable with written instructions about what is expected and the due dates.
I am an independent learner who takes personal responsibility for my learning and I do not require constant attention from my teacher.
I am comfortable asking questions when I have a problem, or I do not understand the material. This includes getting outside tutoring when needed.
I handle academic and personal situations independently without a lot of involvement from my parents/guardians.
I understand that as a high school student enrolling in a UCCS dual credit class, I am held accountable to the standards and expectations set forth in the UCCS Student Code of Conduct.

I understand that this class is at the same level that any college student would take. I understand that the professors teaching these classes are expecting to treat me like they treat all other college students. It is my responsibility to ask for and seek help if I start to fall behind. If I fail a dual credit class, the grade will show up on my official UCCS transcript.

UCCS Expectations

I understand the cost of taking UCCS dual enrollment classes and I have discussed a financial plan with my family. If I fail this class, or withdraw after the class census deadline, I am still responsible to pay the full cost of the class.
I understand it is my responsibility to purchase the textbook or other materials required for the UCCS dual credit class.
When thinking about my future, I have education and career goals that involve earning a 4-year degree.
