If incoming ninth grade students plan to enroll in a state university following high school graduation, how should they be advised about course selection for major and minor areas of interest?
All students should be informed of the courses that will best prepare them to be college ready. Students who are encouraged to participate in a rigorous curriculum will benefit from an enhanced high school academic experience and increase their available postsecondary options. Counselors and advisors should review The Florida Counseling for Future Education Handbook, http://www.facts.org/pdf_sw/DOEHandbook_2006-2007.pdf, found on FACTS.org, under Advising Manuals, to find updates to Floridas university admission requirements. Every year the Handbook is updated to provide a list of high school courses and equivalent substitutions that satisfy the 18-credit and course requirements for state university admissions, which are as follows: 4 academic units in English, of which three credits must include substantial writing requirements. 3 academic units in mathematics, all of which must be at the Algebra I level and higher.*Note: incoming 07-08 ninth grade students are required to earn 4 cred
