College Credit!

Registration for College Algebra credit through UMSL will occur between Jan 3rd - Feb 2nd. Before paying for your college credit, please check (either online or on-phone) that it will transfer to the college of your choice. The cost of this three credit course is $204 (compared to $1080 if taken at UMSL). This course will transfer to the college of your choice as if you had taken it on UMSL's campus.
We will register as a class during class time at the beginning of several classes in January. Students will  need a parent email, and have their social security # memorized.  Students must have at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA to be eligible to earn these college credits.

Please spend time this month starting to think about possible college majors. At Mizzou, as well as at most traditional universities, College Algebra is a required math course for graduation. Looking into the requirements of possible majors would be worthy of your time.

Please also spend time this month considering all options for college. St Louis Community College is a wonderful way to earn your general credits for the first two years, then transfer to the college of your choice (and earn great transfer scholarships!). Students in the A+ program can receive half of their college credits for free, while other students may qualify for a Federal Grant that does not need to be paid back. Please make sure to fill out a FAFSA form to see if you qualify for free Grants (or Federal Loans).
