Online Learning & Dual Enrollment

ONLINE LEARNING

Students at St. Francis have the option of taking an online course during the school day. Below are the expectations relative to St. Francis students taking online courses:

  • St. Francis covers most of the online course costs, but students pay a nominal registration fee based on course length and type (college prep or AP). Fees are included in fall tuition statements.
  • Registration fees for dropped courses before the school year starts are refundable. Once the course begins, no refunds are provided.
  • Students attend the Learning Resource Center for online courses, following guidelines and respecting supervision by the Information Technology Director.
  • Timely completion of online lessons is expected, with progress monitored by the administration. Final exams align with St. Francis exam periods.
  • Online course grades appear on transcripts and contribute to the overall GPA.
  • The administration may adjust online course expectations as needed.
