Comments appreciate getting a jump start. The CIS course is also more useful than an Advanced Placement course because in the end, the student is getting actual school credits on an A-F scale. I would highly recommend CIS courses to any students looking for a challenging yet rewarding opportunity while in high school. CIS programs are invaluable. It prepared me better for college because I had an idea of what college would be like. I entered college more confident in my abilities because of CIS classes and I recommend the program to all students I meet. CIS provided a wonderful opportunity because of the advanced placement. I was able to spend an entire year studying abroad and it didn't set me back from graduating in 4 years. CIS saves both money and time. CIS was a great deal, and helped me on my college career. CIS was a great experience that was challenging and a unique learning opportunity for me in high school. I would recommend a class like College Fiction to all students. CIS was a great precursor of things to come. I felt more confident when I started school having taken a college level class and my CIS credits allowed me to be exempt from a college course. CIS was a tremendously useful program and was instrumental in my college success. This program should be continued and expanded. CIS was an excellent opportunity. It provided me more time to complete other courses and allowed my Financial Aid to go a little further. CIS was definitely worth my time in high school. It allowed me to finish my double major in 4 years because I had passed out of classes. I would recommend this program to any individual in high school. CIS was definitely worth the extra work in High school. I was able to save money by not taking the class in college and I wish I had taken more CIS courses. CIS was extremely nice to have when I went into college. I didn't have to to take any English classes and I counted the credits toward my BA. It is great. CIS was simply the best preparation for a college-level workload. My experience required significantly more effort than any of the AP courses I took. CIS was very helpful. I hope more students can benefit from it. College in the Schools courses are very valuable. Should be available to all high school students. College in the Schools enabled me to experience college level class without missing out on the high school experience. It also gave me more freedom when registering for classes in college. College in the Schools gave me a head start on my college degree which helped me graduate on time. College in the Schools helps students prepare for the environment and pace of college classes. College in the Schools helped allow me to finish a BS in 4 years that included a double major, a minor and two study abroad experiences. My classes were also more challenging than many of my university courses! College in the schools helped me prepare for college while staying in an atmosphere I was comfortable in. College in the Schools helped me transition from high school to college. It was great to get met with the reality of college in the safe setting of high school. College in the Schools is a great asset and can benefit many high school students. It gets students thinking about higher education and what they want to do in the near future. College in the Schools helped me improve my writing skills and I got college credit. College in the schools is a great benefit for those planning to go to college. Not only does it prepare a person for the amount of work and fast pace of college but more often than not counts toward a degree and exempts one from required college courses.

Comments start and gives them a tremendous advantage in any university or college. I HIGHLY support College in the Schools. College in the Schools not only helped me get a head start on my college career but also financially helped me and, most importantly, prepared me for the academic expectations and rigor that so many high schoolers are unprepared for when entering the college. College in the Schools prepared me for college more than AP classes because we were treated more like college students with the same amount of expectations in CIS. In AP classes, it was just a high school class with a test at the end. College in the Schools was a great experience--it was actually one of my favorite classes in high school. I earned 4 college credits that went toward my Intro to Literature class so I didn't have to pay to take it in college. It was well worth it . College in the Schools was a great way to prepare for college. These courses, along with my AP courses, helped me immensely. College in the Schools was beneficial both financially and academically. Please continue to offer this and other similar programs to high school students. College is the schools is a wonderful program which allows students to hold themselves to higher standards of achievement. I encourage legislators to look deeper into it. TRUE, those of us graduating early thanks to this program are many, but those students also are the same who will succeed through anything in life, because CIS gave them a window of opportunity to challenge the complex social reality of our days. I urge legislators to continue this program. Completing an undergraduate degree, for most focuses, is hard to do in four years. The more of a head start one has going into it the better the chances of getting out in four years. I don't think there is any reason why some freshman level classes cannot be taught in the senior year of high school. Concurrent enrollment programs are necessary for students to graduate from a 4 year institution in 4 years. Definitely a valuable experience--get college credit, do college level work, but in the smaller, more personal high school environment. I wish I could have had more CIS course opportunities. Essential. They allow students flexibility within the requirements of liberal arts colleges. Without additional credit I would have been unable to travel abroad and graduate on time. They also provide flexibility in the same manner when selecting a major. Excellent opportunity for college-bound high school students to get a head start on general credit coursework. For high achieving students the CIS program provides an extra incentive to work to their full potential by offering college credit in high schoool. I think that for student that excel in mainstream high school coursework CIS is essential. Graduating college in 4 years these days is VERY difficult! Offering and stressing the importance of CIS classes in high school is a must to help students accomplish classes, get them out of the way and help speed the process up. Great course. Great experience that really helped prepare me for college level work. Great program for those willing to make something out of it. Great program! Excellent way to earn credits from an acclaimed university without doing PSEO. Had I not had such fine teachers in my regularly offered high school programs I believe CIS would have been significantly more important. I feel this was an exception, and not the rule, and I hope this program continues to also give students a taste of college. Having taken college courses helped me to be able to afford college. If I hadn't taken them it would have been much more time in college. Having the program allowed me to be better prepared to succeed in college. I am very grateful for my CIS experiences. I was more amply prepared for college. Furthermore, I was able to take more classes at University and study abroad (a wonderful experience) due to my CIS credits. I believe CIS was a great program that allowed students to earn college credit without having to miss out on the fun of daily high school life. I believe that CIS is an excellent program and it was a great way to start college level courses. It deserves CIS 5-year survey December 2006 Page 5 of 12
