College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

That's good, give me rest from school, so I just take in Sept.

 

[Joanna71985]

Yup.

How is the grading system work, and does anyone know how grading system work after you graduate from your college, is still credited???

I'm not positive (someone please correct if I'm wrong) but you would not receive any credit unless you arrange it. It's my understanding that the classes are free, but if you need credit then you have to arrange that either through your institution, or another one (they're listed on-line). That's where you'll end up paying for them (and the credit).

Since I'll have graduated I am going to take classes, but I am not going to arrange anything for credit. That way I only have to pay for the books!

 

[Joanna71985]

I believe you are right Brenna.

 

[spectroaddy]

Thanks, guess I will not be taking a class, until the "exploration" classes are available!!! Can't afford to pay for anymore classes right now!!!

You should check with your college though - my daughter's took the class for the credit and she did not have to pay - her costs though were the textbook of course and then when the class was over she had to register with ACE -- they are the people who send the college your transcript. The cost was 40.00 and that includes one free transcript sent...I paid an additional 15.00 so we would have a copy of it as well.

At any rate we were prepared to pay her college for the three credits but they said they didn't do it that way - they just applied the transcript hours.

This is the same thing my college told me. I have to bring them a transcript and they will just add the credits. But just to make sure, if I take classes just to take them while I'm there Disney doesn't charge me right? just pay for books?

Yup, on the website it says that you do not have to pay tuition fees, but you do have to pay for your textbooks and a materials fee. If you go to the WDWCP website, go to the "Educational Opportunities" link, and then click on "Textbooks," you can find more information about it.

I would put my name in HUGE letters with a black Sharpie marker on all of my food items. For food that does not need to be refrigerated or you are not going to open it for a while, maybe store it in your locker?

We had certain shelves in the kitchen for our stuff and were able to trust each other with it...it's all going to depend on your roommates and how trusting everyone is.

Also, I had to buy bottled water there, the tap water was unbearable. That I kept in my car and at the foot of my bed. I just shoved it under come inspection time.

 

[tinyt396]

I would set up a meeting with all your roommates when you get there and set up rules such as not eating any food that you didn't buy yourself. By setting ground rules you won't run into problems-- when you first get down there your roommates will be who you are spending most of your time with til you get to your worksite on day 3 or 4 so you will have plenty of time to figure things out. This is just my opinion but good luck to everyone going down! It will be the best time of your life.

I would sit down with your roomies and discuss this. Me and my roomies each had our own shelf in the closet, drawer space in the cabinets, and fridge space.

Why did you have to shove it under your bed?

 

[disneychickforever]

Why did you have to shove it under your bed?

just because it didn't look to neat and tidy to have a case of water at the foot of my bed. They didn't care that it was there or anything, they just have neatness inspections now and then and it was part of making my room "clean".

 

[spectroaddy]

I really hope, I get some good roomates, I"m a tidy person and organize person, people-friendly hope it works out, i should start looking getting to know people, since I don't have one!!!!!!

 

[Wincaps]

so who wants to be roomies?!?! haha ...maybe i should make sure i get accepted first!

A little of topic- if you're not used to Florida water, it can be a little offsetting when you taste it. I used to pick up a pack of bottled water every week, but I ended up going for a Pur water filter at Walmart- probably the best $30 I spent. It converted the funky central Florida tap in to nice tasting water.

I agree. I got one of those Brita pitchers. Money WELL spent. lol.

 

[CelticBelle]

Both the pitchers and the faucet things are good. It would definitly save you more money than buying packs of water. And if you use the filtered water to cook with your food will also taste better!
