Credit transfer is not a guarantee (must do your own research)
Competitive colleges do not consider DE as rigorous as AP

classroom time and 1,500 minutes or 25 hours
of out-of-class work (homework) per week.
Decide what will be at Lassiter and what will be at college
AM or PM? Know the bell schedules (ASE vs Advisement)
Extracurricular activities?
Announcements, activities, handouts, etc. during advisement
“Singleton” classes– performing arts, AP, languages
Transportation PARKING AT LASSITER MAY BE A CONFLICT!
**The Lassiter Master Schedule is not set until late in the summer (and still changes after school starts)– this is the opposite of the college
**Things may conflict, despite everyone’s best efforts you may still need to make adjustments to either of your schedules
Students must successfully complete college credits Many colleges require a “C” or better for college credit, Lassiter
requires a “D” for HS credit. College classes stay on your college transcript, even when taken in
HS
Students sign a release for the college to provide a transcript to Lassiter
Colleges provide a letter grade; Lassiter converts to a numerical grade A= 95, B= 85, C= 76, D= 72, F= 69
**It is always your responsibility to check the accuracy of your transcript after grades are posted each semester.
Colleges will advertise Drop/Add and withdrawal timelines This is a common thing in college and may sound appealing to a struggling DE
student
DE students who drop courses after the first 10 days of the Cobb County semester receive a grade of “10%” on their Lassiter transcript Courses receiving state funding MUST be posted on the HS transcript with a
grade
BOTTOM LINE: Don’t drop a class
GPA will be impacted– Lassiter, HOPE Scholarship GPA and W on college transcript
Student cannot drop below full time status
Student will lose credit and could be off track for graduation
Core academic classes and academic electives, foreign languages (requires placement tests), career tech and fine arts electives (these may be trickier to transfer elsewhere)
