1 .Concordance for new SAT vs ACT (also old SAT vs new SAT). Page 7 is where you’ll find new SAT vs ACT. This is available in the ASPIRE room.

2. List of Private (For-Profit and Nonprofit) Institutions approved for Oregon students by the Office of Degree Authorization. Although I don’t think ITT and Le Cordon Blue should still be on it.

4. The Pell grant provides up to $5,815 for 2016-2017; however our students are now applying for the 2017-2018 year, so this may change. The same thing with the Oregon Opportunity Grant, which provides up to $2,250 for 2016-2017. This, too, may change for the 2017-2018 school year.

5. The College Credit Now program has been replaced with a new area-wide college credit program called Willamette Promise. Here’s the link to learn more about that. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B31hK8tR2zAEclZaSGJBekJHamM/view

6. 2017-18 Chemeketa Scholars also have to apply for Oregon Promise. That’s a new twist.


 

Jumpstart field trip to Chemeketa Rescheduled

The Jumpstart field trip to Chemeketa, scheduled for Nov. 3, is being rescheduled. The YVC folks are in the throes of changing software to accommodate the switch to the Accuplacer placement test; hence our students would not be able to take their placement tests.

As well, for some reason the application for the Fall 2017 term is not yet available. Julianna, our Chemeketa liaison, suggested rescheduling in January.
