Ok, this is NOT spam......I'm not selling anything, this isn't my blog, but I ran across this and think it could be quite interesting information.
http://homeschoolcommunity.wordpress.com/gpacalculator/.
THis lady's blog actually has quite a bit of information, so I wanted to pass it along to The Hive. If you are in the Phoenix, AZ area she is also having a free workshop June 16 about college prep. Lurking on the High School Board has given me a lot of information, but I like the idea of getting some info right from the college in our next of the woods.
Come to a FREE workshop that will answer your questions
and address your concerns!
Tuesday, June 16 9:00 AM- Noon
Grand Canyon University
3300 W Camelback Rd
Phoenix, AZ
Student Union
McKinley Meeting Room
FREE for parents and teens,
optional $8.00 for a GPA Calculator Tool and all the workshop materials in pdf format.
Holly Craw, a veteran home educator of over 22 years,
has joined with Nicole Porter, admissions counselor for GCU,
to bring together a dynamic discussion of the college admissions process.
This event is especially recommended for parents of teens and pre-teens,
but is open to families with younger children as well.
Nicole Porter has over ten years of experience in financial aid and college admissions and will cover:
Admissions processes for universities and community colleges
Basic information needed to apply for federal financial aid and scholarships
Highlights of Grand Canyon University.
This presentation is designed to de-mystify these elements of the college preparation process.
Holly will discuss the steps in transcript preparation:
What is a transcript and why it is needed?
Key components that colleges want to see
Classes needed for college entrance
Grades, credits, and record keeping
Calculating the GPA
Compiling the transcript
Creating a diploma
At the end of the session, Nicole will give a tour of Grand Canyon University.
This workshop is a great way to see that you are covering the bases for college entrance with a solid preparation.
You and your students will have a refreshed confidence to have a strong finish to the homeschooling years.
Please RSVP as seats are limited.
