Complete 73 page College Credits in High School Strategic Plan and Workbook

This 73 page step-by-step strategic plan and workbook shows you how to earn college credits in high school that actually count toward a degree and transfer to a university, with no wasted classes.

Dual enrollment can save families years of tuition, housing, and meal plans. But only if the credits count. Too many students take random classes that end up as useless electives, and nobody explains the system until it's too late.

College Credits in High School is a 73-page plan that walks you through the whole process, in plain language, one small step at a time. No college experience needed.

Whether your goal is to:

• Save tens of thousands on tuition and room and board

• Finish a Bachelor degree in less time

• Strengthen an application to a selective private university

• Get a head start on a long path like medicine or engineering

• Let your teen try majors before paying university prices

...this guide shows you exactly what to do.

What's inside:

• A vocabulary dictionary that explains every college term in simple English

• The backward-planning method: start with the degree you want, then work back to the class to take this semester

• How to find what's available in your district, state, community college, and university

• 11 word-for-word phone scripts and 4 email templates: who to call, what to ask, and what to write down

• How to read a college catalog and find the Associate degree requirements

• Every strategic decision for choosing classes, including math paths, what to avoid, grade strategy, and course load

• Transfer equivalency research: how to check that a class counts toward the general education or major requirements of your target university

• How to research professors on Rate My Professors

• Worksheets, trackers, and checklists to keep the whole plan in one place

Who it's for: parents and students in grades 8 to 12 who want a clear plan instead of guesswork, whether you're brand new to college systems or just want to do it right.

Please note: dual enrollment rules and costs differ by state, district, and college. This guide teaches you how to find the answers for your area and gives you the exact questions to ask. It doesn't list every state's rules.
