Maintaining College Standards

Syracuse University faculty members work closely with their colleagues in the high school and with the support of Project Advance administrative staff to maintain the University’s academic standards throughout the program.

At least once each semester, Syracuse University faculty members and Project Advance administrative staff members visit each class to review folders of all work kept for each student, talk with the teacher and students about the program, and discuss community response and overall administration of the program with the high school principal. SU faculty also read papers and review tests that students have completed for their University courses to ensure that the grading standards applied are consistent with those applied in the same courses on the SU campus.

In addition to site visits, faculty members and administrators at the University are accessible to high school instructors by phone and e-mail, as are office staff members who assist in logistical support for the high school sections.
