COLLEGE CREDIT


AP College Credit for Teens

COLLEGE CREDIT:

High School Students Get a Jump Start on College this Summer!
High school students in the three-week Filmmaking, Photography, Acting for Film and Dance Programs may opt to take the course for three college credits issued by the School of Visual & Performing Arts at Long Island University, C.W. Post Campus. This program is similar to an Advanced Placement* or SCALE Program for High School students whereby after the credit is received, it can be transferred to most colleges and universities upon acceptance (please check with the Transfer Office of your school of choice to obtain their Credit Transfer Guidelines). There is no additional work required but there is an additional fee of $132 per credit (total for 3 credits: $395). When you register, you can choose the college credit option in the application. We will need your Social Security Number (unfortunately, the College Credit option is not available for our International Students).

UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS:
Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to access your grade and print an "unofficial transcript" by first activating and then logging into your myLIU account.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS:
When it comes time to send "official transcripts" to colleges, you may do so by filling out LIU's Online Transcript Request Form. There is a nominal fee of $7 per "official transcript" request.

PROBLEMS?:
When to Contact SOCAPA:
If you simply cannot activate your MyLIU account, then please contact the SOCAPA office as there may be a problem the Social Security number or Date of Birth that we have on file.

We will resolve this problem for you and notify you shortly when you can reactivate your account.

"I was extremely pleased with my son's experience at SOCAPA. It made a big difference in his life. Not only did he learn about the technical aspects and art of being a filmmaker; he became a much better student overall. He now has a much greater appreciation for education in general.

As you know, Tom wants to study film in college. Many of his essays mention different things he learned at SOCAPA. The movie he is submitting to the colleges is one he made during your program. I'm sure that attending your school has made him a much more attractive college candidate."
