college campus enrichment confusion

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>Ok,</p>

<p>The common app used to have a section where you could list high school summer programs taken on a college campus (these are noncredit courses for high school students and my daughter has done this for 2 summers).</p>

<p>But now they've changed the education section of the common app, and your only choices are:</p>

<p>1) If you have attended any other secondary schools since 9th grade, including summer schools or enrichment programs hosted on a secondary campus, click here... [this would not apply since they were not on a high school campus]</p>

<p>or </p>

<p>2) If you have taken a college or university course since 9th grade, click here...[this would not apply since they are not college courses]</p>

<p>So if you are taking a high-school program on a college campus, neither answer is correct and you have no place in the education section to list these programs.</p>

<p>Interestingly, if you look at the PRINT version of the common app, the 2nd choice says, "If you have taken a college/university AFFILIATED course since 9th grade...." and these are certainly college-affiliated courses.</p>

<p>Any advice from anyone?
Thanks</p>

<p>Classes offered to HS students on a college campus are college affiliated classes just non credit ones.</p>

<p>Last year my son attended a program about Architecture at Virginia tech. Only HS students could attend, there was no credit, just a certificate. He put down he had attended a class at a college. </p>

<p>If your HS offered a HS class at a local college purely for space/equipment reasons, then I would put it under the secondary school option. The college did not have anything to do with the class then.</p>

<p>I emailed Common App about this for my daughter and they said to put pre-college programs that are not for college credit in the Additional Information section.</p>
