Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the campus library?Absolutely! As a SNC student you enjoy full library privileges. The Mulva Library resources can be accessed remotely — at your school or home — by using your SNC ID number on campus. You can access databases and many full-text articles from academic journals. You may use these resources for any of your courses, not just your College Jumpstart courses, as long as you are enrolled as a College Jumpstart student.
How do I add or drop a course once the semester starts?
If you feel your class selection is not a fit for you for any reason, you may drop the class without financial obligation by either you or your district before the Friday of the first week of class. If you need to drop the course after the deadline, you may do so but you will not be able to get a refund for the class.
How do I get my SNC grades sent to another college or university?
Courses you take through College Jumpstart will appear on a St. Norbert College transcript. This is your official record of enrollment at the college and is maintained by the registrar’s office. You must request an official transcript from St. Norbert College to be sent to the university or college you are attending (unless you are coming to SNC, then no transcript is needed) in order to transfer your credits. Contact the university you are attending to see if the transcript needs to be a hard-copy or electronic version.
St. Norbert College transcripts are ordered online through the National Student Clearinghouse. A link to this request form can be found on the registrar's website. Very important! When filling out the request form, remember to mark the box “hold for grades.” This will ensure that only complete transcripts will be sent to your institution, saving you both time and money.
In addition, you should make a copy of the syllabus from the class you took and also give this to the registrar. If you run into any issues, please feel free to contact the Director of College Jumpstart who can discuss the courses with the registrar if they have questions about the program.
How does my school partner with College Jumpstart at SNC?
The administration at a high school may request a College Jumpstart course be established on the high school campus. The first step is to determine if there is a faculty member at the high school who meets the minimum requirements. Potential new instructors should forward the appropriate documents (updated resume/C.V. and copies of undergraduate and graduate college transcripts) to the program director for review. These will be forwarded to the discipline faculty liaison. The faculty liaison will then confer with his or her discipline colleagues for final recommendation.
If approved, new College Jumpstart instructors and their principals are notified in writing as to their approval to teach a dual-credit course.
What are the requirements for high school instructors?
To be eligible to teach in the College Jumpstart program, instructors must have the following:
- Master’s degree or higher in discipline or content area taught or
- Any master's degree and a minimum of 18 graduate credit hours in the discipline or content area taught
