Oley Valley Senior High School and Reading Area Community College have entered into a dual enrollment agreement whereby students may earn college credit while they are still in high school. The 2007-2008 year will be the eleventh year for this program. More than 90 OVHS
juniors and seniors participated in this program during the 2006-2007 school year.

DUAL ENROLLMENT - Participating students will receive credit from both institutions. High school graduation credit will be awarded from OVHS, and transferable college credit will be awarded from RACC. OVHS faculty members on the OVHS campus will teach the courses.

TRANSFERABILITY - RACC maintains a number of articulation agreements with traditional four-year colleges and universities. Since these courses would be traditional college freshman selections, the transferability factor is high. However, students are encouraged to
obtain verification by contacting the colleges and universities where they are interested in attending.

TUITION AND FEES - Tuition and fees are established by RACC and are subject to change. Students paid $106 per credit to cover tuition and other fees during the 2006-2007 academic year. For example, a three-credit course cost $318 during 2006-2007. Bills are sent to
the home of the registered students by the RACC cashier’s office. Once a student has registered for a course, should he/she decided to withdraw from the course, the amount of the refund is dependent upon the date RACC receives notice of the intended withdrawal.

TRANSCRIPT – Students can obtain official transcripts by sending a written request (along with $3.00 fee) to: Registrar, Reading Area Community College, P.O. Box 1706, Reading, PA 19603.

TIME LINE - All courses will follow the OVHS school calendar. An evening information session for parents and students will be held at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year. Course registration will take place at the beginning of each semester. A school counselor will
distribute registration information to students in Advanced Composition, AP English, AP U.S. History, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Calculus courses.
