Tips for Parents/Guardians
- Encourage your student to take charge of applying for the program and choosing and registering for classes. While your student’s high school guidance counselor and academic advisor can help, participation in our program should ultimately be the student’s choice. This will help the student be successful in their courses and invested in the process. Contact your student’s advisor if necessary; please do not contact faculty.
- Your student will receive a syllabus with the outline of and expectations for each course. Review the syllabus with the student.
- Support and encourage your student to be an independent learner. Help your student schedule time for their classes. Each class should require 7-10 hours of time per week. Students will be most successful if they spread their studying and assignments out instead of cramming for an exam the day before. You can help by providing a stress-free environment for learning.
- Understand the difference between your student’s academic choices. AP, IB, AICE, and dual enrollment at a state college are all different than UF Dual Enrollment. Each choice has unique strengths.
- Do not sign in using your student’s GatorLink username and password. This is against University policy. Encourage your student to use it, however, as the University will contact the student through this portal.
