Attendance: Excused absences don't work when it comes to college. You need to show up on time every day for both high school and college, or at least let them know beforehand if you are aware that you are going to be late.

Behaviour: There are behaviour guidelines that you are expected to follow, for both AVC's code of conduct and SOAR's guidelines towards behaviour. Follow them and you don't have to worry about anything.

Grades: C's or higher is the academic expectation for all high school and AVC courses. Even if you have difficulty or challenges, the students at SOAR are expected to reach out for help on their own. If you were to get a D or an F in high school, you have to retake the course in summer school. If you were to get a D or an F in college, you must take the course in the next course or in summer school and you might have to pay for the textbook that is used in the class. It's a standard for both college and highschool here at SOAR that if you were to get a D or an F, you'd have to be placed in Mandatory Academic Support(MAS).

Being placed in MAS means that you had a D or an F in any class from a previous semester or that you are earning a D or an F at the first quarterly grade report. You would be asked to leave the Soar program if you don't do anything to help yourself get better.

AVC Registration: You must take 1 AVC course in the fall and spring, and summer courses are NOT mandatory. Your AVC classes cannot conflict with your highschool classes, meaning that you can't have an avc class that ends at 11:50 when you have a high school class that starts at 11:30. They will prioritize high school first, so you would have to drop that college course for a different one that benefits your schedule.

AVC Textbooks: Return your textbook if you get a physical by the following Monday at the end of the term. You will receive instructions through an email on how to return the books and will receive a fine for returning it less than a week late of more than a week late.

California Promise Grant: Something you complete once a year, usually during the summer.

Always carry your AVC ID while conducting "college business".

AVC's Student Health Fee along with the Student Representation fee must be paid every term to enroll in AVC courses.

• The biggest thing is earning your high school diploma! You have to get 230 credits by the end of your senior year in order to get your diploma, 10 high school credits being given out for each year of a class that you took. You can end up getting more than the minimum recommendation of credits by taking a relative course in college.

  
  

• 2. Complete your A-G Requirements! It's a list of requirements that include history, English, math, Lab. Science, For. Language, Vis. and Preforming Arts, and College Prep Elected. Foreign Language and Vis. and Preforming Arts are not being offered at SOAR and you will have to take the course at AVC. When it comes to Language, it's recommended to take 2 years of the same language. All classes require C's or better in order to be considered passing, but again, the higher the better! Each AVC course that you take and complete are considered to be equivalent to 1 year of highschool, giving you the credits to whatever category it may fall into.

• It is not required to get your AA degree, it is completely optional and is not needed whatsoever in order to get into a four year college. Some might not want to finish their Cal-GETC and that's completely okay as well. It can be overwhelming and that's fine if that is the reason as to why you may not want to get your AA.

• Over the first semester of this school year, you'd be looking at colleges, review your ed plan, and you would be registering for spring. Over the second semester

The chances of being placed in MAS (Mandatory Academic Support) are likely with grades of D's or F's. This program requires you to fulfill requirements for a whole semester. Showing no signs of improvement after the semester can equal getting kicked out of SOAR.
