“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed 

by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you 

did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the 

safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.

Parent/Student 

Information Session 

All parents and students registered for the 2012 

High School Credit Summer School program are 

encouraged to attend an evening orientation 

meeting. This short, informative session will be held 

at College of DuPage in Building K, West Commons, 

on Tuesday, June 5, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. 

Topics will include: 

• Policies 

• Grading Options 

• Required Forms 

Continuing Education 

College Credit Classes 

Continuing Education (CE) College Credit classes help 

students get a head start on their college education. 

Successful completion of conveniently scheduled 

classes will provide college-level credits. Only high 

school juniors and seniors in good academic standing 

may enroll in this new program. See the full class 

listing on page 4. Registration forms for these courses 

should be sent directly to Continuing Education, 

College of DuPage, 425 Fawell Blvd., Glen Ellyn, IL 

60137-6599, or faxed to (630) 942-3785. 

Textbooks 

Textbooks, when needed, are included in the price of 

each high school credit class. Students may pick up 

their text at any time after May 14, Monday through 

Thursday, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., 

or Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Continuing 

Education office in Glen Ellyn, Building K, Room 165. 

Books may also be picked up the evening of the 

Parent/Student Informational Session. Additionally, 

textbooks may be shipped directly to your home via 

UPS for a charge of $20 per book. 

At the end of the term, textbooks must be returned in 

good condition to the COD table at each high school 

site. If the book is not returned or is considered 

unusable, neither the student nor the high school will 

receive the grade report for the course until the full 

replacement cost for the book is paid. Textbooks 

are not included for college credit courses. 

Absences/Tardies/Exams 

One day in the summer program equals one week of a 

regular school year. Prompt and consistent attendance 

is mandatory to ensure the same contact hours, 

teaching and learning opportunities as during the 

school year. Students should not register for classes 

for high school credit if they have vacation plans, 

athletic camps/competitions or other obligations that 

prevent them from attending class. However, illness 

and emergencies do occur. Students are allowed two 

(2) absences per semester course. More than two 

absences per course will result in a “Withdraw” grade 

being issued for no credit, without a refund. Calling in 

a student absence does not excuse the absence. 

Two (2) tardies at the beginning of the day, the 

break, or leaving early at the end of the day per 

semester course equals one (1) absence. Tardies 

exceeding 15 minutes equal an absence. 

Any combination of absences and tardies that exceed 

two (2) “days” results in a “Withdraw” grade being 

issued for no credit, without refund. Every effort is 

made to notify the parent/guardian of absences or 

tardies. No special arrangements will be made after 

the allowed two (2) days of absence for any reason. 

Final Exams 

Final exams are given on the last day of class for 

each semester only. If a student is absent for the 

final exam, COD cannot and will not provide an 

opportunity for any “make-up exam,” nor will COD 

administer the final exam early or proctor the exam 

at a later time. The grade the student receives for the 

final exam in these cases is recorded as an “F” (zero 

points) and is factored into the semester grade. 

Parent/guardian signature on the High School 

Attendance Policy form constitutes understanding 

and acceptance of these conditions. 

Grading Scale/Options 

Upon completion of a summer school course, grades 

will be sent to the home address. If the student 

wishes to inform his/her high school of the grade, 

a Release of Grade form must be completed and 

signed before the grade is forwarded. The letter 

grades are A, B, C, D, F, or W (withdrawal). 

Letter Grade 

• A = 90 to 100 percent 

• B = 80 to 89 percent 

• C = 70 to 79 percent 

• D = 60 to 69 percent 

• F = 59 percent and below 

• P/F (Pass/Fail) is for the Illinois and 

U.S. Constitution Tests only 

Audit Grade 

No credit is awarded for this course. Students who are 

looking for enrichment only would benefit from auditing 

a course. An “X” is recorded on the grade report and 

will only be sent home. The grade is not factored into 

your GPA. Tests and quizzes are not mandatory and 

grades are not recorded. Attendance is recorded and 

students must adhere to all summer school policies 

and procedures. Audit grades are not reported to high 

school and audits are irrevocable. Please send a written 

note to the instructor if you want to audit the course. 

Withdrawal 

“W” is received from the instructor when the student 

has more than two absences (Two tardies = one 

absence) per semester course or for any violation listed 

in the High School Attendance Policy or the Student 

Code of Conduct-Appropriate Use of Computer/Online 

Resources Contract. If a student voluntarily withdraws 

from a course, he/she should contact the Continuing 

Education office to officially drop the course to ensure 

that no grade report is generated. 


Submitting Grades 

Grade reports will be sent to the high school when 

you have completed and signed the Release of Grade 

form provided to your student at the start of the 

term. This form may be turned in any time during 

the course or following the completion of the class. 

For your information, Continuing Education keeps 

all grades on file for six (6) years. Grades submitted 

from the College of DuPage Summer High School 

Credit program to the local high schools are final. This 

policy is designed to maintain the grade/transcript as 

an accurate and complete record of attendance and 

meeting course requirements. 

Tuition and Refund Policy 

General courses are priced at $329 per semester, 

which includes textbook rental. 

Science/Foreign Language/Nutrition courses include 

lab fees and/or textbooks: 

• Biology - $349
