Partnership allows students to accumulate college credits early
|
Drexel University and Haddonfield Memorial High School have entered into a partnership that will enhance the curriculum of HMHS and expand student opportunities to take advanced-level and college-credit courses. This is the first-of-its kind partnership that includes free college-level courses for high-achieving students, online classes, cohort classes, and mentoring and faculty-training programs.
HMHS students completing course work at Drexel will receive a Drexel Transcript.
Haddonfield Students
participating in the
program will receive
full college credit for
the courses completed
and a Drexel transcript.
In addition, the courses
will be included on
their Haddonfield
transcript and they will
receive full credit for
the completed courses.
Participating HMHS
students receive the
same access to Drexel
resources as a
matriculated student,
including an academic
counselor, access to the
Drexel library, support
in the writing centers,
tutoring and academic
support services, and a
Drexel ID.
Drexel Visiting Scholars Program is a highly selective program that allows high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to register, tuition free, for college courses - on a space-available basis - at Drexel’s City Main Campus while completing high school. Working with their counselors and the assistant principal, student applications are submitted to and evaluated by the Pennoni Honors College at Drexel University.
Drexel/Haddonfield Students can take Drexel courses at a reduced fee. Students interested in this program are recommended to Drexel after working with their counselors and the assistant principal. Drexel/Haddonfield students have access to classes offered at Drexel’s City Main Campus as well as on-line and hybrid courses. Any student who participates in this program and attends Drexel as an undergrad will receive a tuition reimbursement.
Cohort Classes
are sections of Drexel
courses offered either
at Drexel or at HMHS for
a cohort of eight or
more Haddonfield
students. The cost of
this course will be
split amongst the
students enrolled in the
course.
The
Drexel/Haddonfield
Partnership is under the
umbrella of the
Haddonfield Board of
Education
Option II policy.
