2008 Information Meeting -- Recap

ATTENTION INTERESTED HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS
AND PARENTS:

While we cannot duplicate the information provided by the speakers at the February 6th meeting, here are some highlights of what you need to know:

Speak with Guidance Officials at your school. Let them know that you are interested in applying to the program.

Applying to 3-1-3
The application process begins now until first week of May – or so. Students were encouraged to fill out the paper SUNY application. Your school Guidance Office should have copies. To find out what criteria are used to determine admission into the 3-1-3 Program, contact Mr. Michael Bleecher, Admissions Counselor, at 673-3251 or you can email him at Michael.Bleecher@fredonia.edu

What do I take?
The minimum number of credits students have to take in order to be in the program is six (6). Students generally take 2 courses in the fall and 2 courses in the spring. You can take more, but it depends on your high school schedule. Student schedule will depend on high school requirement, interest and seat availability in college courses. The fall semester runs from the end of August until the second or third week in December. The spring semester runs from the third week in January through the third week in May.

There are a variety of reasons students participate in 3-1-3; to get ahead in college credit, to experience college academic life and experience a challenge. The best thing you can do is to speak with students from your school who are currently participating.

Paying for 3-1-3
There is no financial aid for 3-1-3 students. Please go to http://www.fredonia.edu/admin/studentaccounts/rates.asp
for a look at tuition and fees. 3-1-3 students pay per credit hour. The tuition and fees currently posted are for the 2006-07 year. Chances are these rates will increase. Questions regarding the financial aspect of the 3-1-3 Program should be directed to Mr. Daniel Tramuta, Associate Vice President of Enrollment Management. Please email him at Daniel.Tramuta@fredonia.edu.

Timeline
3-1-3 Director and advisors will begin school visits beginning the third or fourth week in May. At that time students will register for classes for the Fall 2007 semester. Feel free to contact Liza Smith, Director, at 673-3550 with questions.
