[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That would be an opportunity offered by UMD.  Where MCPS would come in is if you wanted the courses to count towards graduation from HS: you'd need to get permission ahead of time and I have no knowledge of whether it would be granted (although I have a hard time imagining not).  My university department (not UMD) always has a few HS students in our summer courses.  They tend to do pretty well.  But when they occasionally show up in regular school-year courses (in person during the fall and spring semesters) we do not have a program or office of any kind to mentor them or help them navigate the university systems.  I'd check on that before just deciding to drop a kid in.  If they have trouble academically, how do they get help?  Will they need a university ID to enter any buildings, including libraries?  Can they use the university transit system, and if so, how?  How do they get help with digital systems and processes?  Professors often don't have answers to these kinds of questions, and HS students are a lot like young freshmen...who never attended freshman orientation and have no on-campus experience.  It's obviously something that can be dealt with, but there is advance planning needed.[/quote]

Of course they would have IDs if they are students at UMD. All the information is online. Colleges also send out so many emails every week about help for classes especially around finals. You are acting like all information is kept secret, there and hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of information on the UMD website.[/quote]
