[00:00:04.059]
So you're a student at Excel High School.
[00:00:07.259]
Congratulations.
[00:00:08.868]
In this video, we'll give you tips
[00:00:10.960]
and info for success on the Excel
[00:00:13.189]
High School program provided by Gail.
[00:00:17.579]
We'll cover credits required
[00:00:19.638]
to graduate, transferring your
[00:00:21.728]
previously earned credits by submitting the
[00:00:23.769]
transcript
[00:00:25.000]
recommendations for completing your self based
[00:00:27.190]
courses
[00:00:28.179]
and how to get support when you need it.
[00:00:31.818]
Let's start with some goals.
[00:00:34.158]
Students must take a total of 21.5
[00:00:37.179]
credits to graduate.
[00:00:38.590]
Those credits must consist of
[00:00:40.649]
four English
[00:00:41.829]
three math, three science,
[00:00:44.149]
3.5 social studies and eight
[00:00:46.270]
elective credits including
[00:00:48.348]
half credit of health, a half credit
[00:00:50.478]
of fitness and one finer credit.
[00:00:53.168]
If you've earned high school credits at any point
[00:00:55.399]
before this, we can evaluate your transcripts
[00:00:57.969]
and apply those credits towards your credit total.
[00:01:02.548]
However, in order to graduate with Excel,
[00:01:05.109]
at least six of the total credits to graduate
[00:01:07.558]
must be earned through the Excel High School
[00:01:09.620]
program that
[00:01:11.989]
includes one credit of English,
[00:01:14.230]
one credit of math, one credit of
[00:01:16.260]
science, one credit of social studies
[00:01:18.638]
and two elective credits.
[00:01:20.778]
We'll load these credits for you first and
[00:01:22.900]
then determine if you need to take any more
[00:01:24.909]
credits. After we receive your transcripts,
[00:01:28.290]
your transcript will need to be sent to us directly
[00:01:30.680]
from your previous school.
[00:01:32.659]
So we've created a special guide to
[00:01:34.689]
walk you through how to contact your previous school
[00:01:37.058]
and ask them to send us your transcript.
[00:01:39.558]
You can find this guide on the orientation
[00:01:41.739]
resources page on your learn stage account.
[00:01:44.519]
Once we have your transcript, we'll send
[00:01:46.609]
you an email to let you know we have,
[00:01:49.069]
we'll also load it to the document section
[00:01:51.349]
of your learn stage profile where you can check
[00:01:53.448]
for it any time.
[00:01:55.730]
Now, let's take a look at your courses.
[00:01:58.209]
You'll notice that your courses are flexible
[00:02:00.250]
and self paced. You can work on them
[00:02:02.549]
whenever and wherever you want
[00:02:04.859]
and you can work on one course at a time
[00:02:07.278]
or all of them at once.
[00:02:08.939]
The choice is yours.
[00:02:10.319]
However, you choose to work, make sure you're
[00:02:12.508]
using the Google Chrome browser on
[00:02:14.788]
your computer to ensure your course materials
[00:02:17.149]
function optimally.
[00:02:19.278]
When completing your assessment, you have
[00:02:21.330]
three attempts on quizzes and two
[00:02:23.360]
attempts on final exams.
[00:02:25.409]
This gives you a chance to review what
[00:02:27.479]
you missed and improve on your next attempts.
[00:02:30.300]
Keep in mind that you have to earn at least
[00:02:32.479]
a 60% on your final exam
[00:02:34.659]
to pass the course and earn the credit.
[00:02:37.028]
Be sure to log in frequently and complete
[00:02:39.288]
quizzes and exams regularly.
[00:02:41.360]
The faster you complete your work, the sooner you graduate
[00:02:44.278]
and you have a maximum of two years to
[00:02:46.360]
complete all classes for graduation.
[00:02:48.860]
We recommend completing 3 to 5 quizzes
[00:02:51.020]
each week to stay on track
[00:02:54.118]
and we're here to support you along the way.
[00:02:56.469]
Let's go over a few ways that you can
[00:02:58.490]
get support while completing your course work.
[00:03:01.479]
If you have questions about your class content
[00:03:03.588]
quizzes or exams, you can
[00:03:05.669]
reach out to the teacher of your course by going
[00:03:07.889]
to the canvas inbox section on the main
[00:03:09.949]
menu of your canvas account, starting
[00:03:12.270]
a message and selecting your course
[00:03:14.429]
teacher name
[00:03:24.058]
after you complete and send your message. Your
[00:03:26.219]
teacher should respond within a few days.
[00:03:29.508]
If you would like more in depth support with
[00:03:31.588]
understanding or applying the content in your
[00:03:33.649]
course, you can schedule a live train,
[00:03:35.889]
the brain tutoring session.
[00:03:37.889]
Students can schedule up to 31
[00:03:39.979]
hour sessions each week. This is
[00:03:42.028]
an excellent resource and we highly recommend
[00:03:44.159]
giving it a try.
[00:03:46.699]
And lastly, if you have questions about using
[00:03:48.770]
learn stage or your program details,
[00:03:51.020]
you can submit to help desk ticket through learn
[00:03:53.319]
speech. Just open the help desk,
[00:03:55.449]
click, add, write your message
[00:03:57.479]
and submit it.
[00:03:58.939]
We'll work to respond as soon as possible.
[00:04:01.349]
Typically within 24 to 48
[00:04:03.429]
hours
[00:04:05.729]
for any other assistance, you can reach out to
[00:04:07.909]
your Excel high school success coach.
[00:04:12.099]
So now you have what you need to get started.
[00:04:15.219]
Thanks for watching.
