College Credit at Waubonsee Community College, Joliet
Junior College, and College of DuPage
Waubonsee Community College, Joliet Junior College, and College of DuPage award college credit when learning experiences at the high
school level of instruction duplicate those at the college level. Articulated credit enables students to receive advanced placement to save
time and money and to avoid duplication of material already learned in high school. Students must earn an A or B in the high school class
and apply for credit within two years of graduation. The following is a list of courses offered at Oswego District 308 high schools for which
articulated credit can be earned. See your counselor for the “College Credit Articulation Form”. For a complete list of requirements for

the same course. Tuition and fees are the responsibility of the student.
Illinois Virtual School (IVS) Coursework
Oswego 308 High Schools are members of the Illinois Virtual School (www.ilvirtual.org). This State-accredited program will provide
additional curricular opportunities for our students in accordance with the policies listed below. The Illinois Virtual School partners with
public, private, and home schools to provide online learning for students and educators. All District 308 school policies will be enforced for
all students enrolled in IVS courses. All IVS classes are designed to meet the Illinois Learning Standards and are rigorous in nature. IVS
courses range from introductory to advanced placement and college dual credit classes. See the Director of Student Services for more
information on enrollment and courses offered.
Please note that IVS course fees are the responsibility of the student. District 308 High Schools do not provide any funding related to
enrollment in IVS courses. All course fees must be paid in full prior to final approval for IVS registration.
Students wishing to enroll in IVS courses for OHS and OEHS academic credit may be considered for enrollment only under the following
circumstances:
1. The student is unable to take a locally offered course due to unavoidable scheduling conflict as verified by the Director of Student
Services.
2. The IVS course is not offered at OHS or OEHS during that particular year.
3. The student is homebound due to medical or other circumstances.
In order for the student to receive academic credit on his/her high school transcripts, the following sequence of actions must occur:
1. The student makes a formal request to the high school counselor designated to assist with IVS enrollment. The counselor will assist
the student in completing an IVS application.
2. The IVS application is reviewed and approved by the Director of Student Services.
Note that IVS also employs a screening policy for all students wishing to enroll.
