MEFA shows that by saving $6,960, and earning $3,040 in interest, your actual expenditure in paying off $10,000 in college costs is only $6,960. By taking out a $10,000 loan, to continue the example, the interest accrued is $3,920, so the cost will actually be $13,920. Learn more at mefa.org. USING YOUR HIGH SCHOOL THE CHANCES ARE YOUR STUDENT’S HIGH SCHOOL HAS NOT ONLY COLLEGE INFO SESSIONS FOR STUDENTS, BUT ALSO SEPARATE SEMINARS FOR PARENTS. Bob Hall, Guidance Team Leader at Colchester High School in Vermont says, “We hold three parent nights in the spring for juniors, a senior night in the fall, and a financial night for all parents in the fall. For freshman and sophomore parents we have one night, as well.” “Dual Enrollment—taking college courses in high school—is often recommended for students. Not specifically to save money although the courses are free, but it is an opportunity for students to explore what they’re really interested in and stick their toe in the college water and get a sense of their readiness,” Hall explains. 8 GUIDE TO NEW ENGLAND COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES | 2015 COLLEGE GUIDE FOR PARENTS TWO-YEAR OR FOUR-YEAR?

  • General Studies in Health Associate in Science
    General Studies in Health Associate in Science Why choose General Studies in Health ? The Associate in Science in General Studies Health has been designed for students who have a desire to work in the health care industry or allied health, but who have not yet chosen a specific health field or area of interest. The first year includes courses that would be required for general education as well as a career in the healthcare field. At the end of the first year, students will have the option of transferring to another associate degree program to complete their course work in a specific field or continue on to receive their associate degree with a focus on health.

  • Student Housing Trends 2017-2018 Academic Year
    Student Housing Trends 2017-2018 Academic Year Boston’s world-renowned colleges and universities provide our City and region with unparalleled cultural resources, a thriving economic engine, and a talented workforce at the forefront of global innovation. However, the more than 147,000 students enrolled in Boston-based undergraduate and graduate degree programs place enormous strain on the city’s residential housing market, contributing to higher rents and housing costs for Boston’s workforce. In Housing a Changing City: Boston 2030, the Walsh Administration outlined three clear strategic goals regarding student housing: 1. Create 18,500 new student dormitory beds by the end of 2030;1 2. Reduce the number of undergraduates living off-campus in Boston by 50%;2 3. Ensure all students reside in safe and suitable housing. The annual student housing report provides the opportunity to review the trends in housing Boston’s students and the effect these students are having on Boston’s local housing market. This report is based on data from the University Accountability Reports (UAR) submitted by Boston-based institutions of higher education.3 In this edition of Student Housing Trends,4 data improvements have led to more precise enrollment and off-campus data, allowing the City to better distinguish between students that are or are not having an impact on the private housing market. The key findings are: ● • Overall enrollment at Boston-based colleges and universities is 147,689. This represents net growth of just under 4,000 (2.8%) students since 2013, and a 2,300+ (1.6%) student increase over last year.

  • University System of NH Policy on Pass/Fail Coursework.Pdf
    The University System of New Hampshire Policy on Pass/Fail coursework March 26, 2020 The University System of NH institutions are eager to welcome students in the Fall 2020. We are earnestly adapting plans to solidify that effort, anticipating that much flexibility in approach will continue as we navigate the current uncertainties that we are facing as a state and as a nation. Our Admissions teams are available and ready to address enrollment questions and are particularly sensitive to the needs of NH students who are currently attending out of state institutions yet may be seeking a higher education alternative closer to home. All of our institutions want to be supportive of the challenges students and families are facing with completing their coursework and passing online courses. We are flexible in our approach to Pass/Fail curriculum and how students will be evaluated for acceptance and scholarships in the Fall 2020. Some frequently asked questions: Are University of NH, Keene State College, Plymouth State University and Granite State College planning to be open for face-to-face classes next fall? YES. However, backup plans including online coursework is being prepared. Are all 4 schools still recruiting and accepting new students for fall 2020? YES. Granite State College has a continuous application and review process and year-round admissions and does not require deposits upon acceptance. For UNH, Keene State College and Plymouth State University the deposit deadline is June 1, 2020. With that said, Admissions will work with a student's individual situation. Please contact the Admissions Office of the schools to which you are applying with any concerns you have about meeting a deadline: Admissions Office contact numbers and emails: Plymouth State University: (603) 535-2237 or [email protected].

  • University System of New Hampshire Board of Trustees Approves Plan to Combine the Strengths of Granite State College and the University of New Hampshire
    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Distribution Media Contact: Lisa Thorne Director Communications University System of New Hampshire [email protected] M: 603.540.9954 University System of New Hampshire Board of Trustees Approves Plan to Combine the Strengths of Granite State College and the University of New Hampshire Concord, NH (July 30, 2021) - Building on the complementary missions of Granite State College (GSC) and the University of New Hampshire Manchester (UNH Manchester), the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) board of trustees voted to establish a single, merged college located in the Manchester-Concord corridor. Following work with legislators and accreditors, the merged entity is intended to become a college within UNH and will retain the name Granite State College. A second key initiative of the integration will be to combine GSC and UNH online learning enterprises to strengthen, promote and expand online education for all USNH institutions. “This plan was developed and endorsed by a cross-section of the USNH community, including most notably Granite State College’s president and leadership team, alumni trustees and a student trustee, the presidents and leadership teams of UNH, Plymouth State University and Keene State College, and legislative representative members of the USNH board,” said Joe Morone, Chair, USNH Board of Trustees. “All of us on the board look forward to working with elected officials to implement fully this important next step in USNH’s continuing efforts to secure the future of New Hampshire’s public higher education in the face of accelerating demographic, structural and financial challenges.” As part of the plan, the USNH board of trustees voted unanimously to elect James W.

  • The Guide to the College Search Process for Students with Learning Disabilities
    Guidance and Counseling Department THE GUIDE TO THE COLLEGE SEARCH PROCESS FOR STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES 1 The Guide to the College Search Process for Students with Learning Disabilities Lynnfield High School Guidance and Counseling Department HOW DOES COLLEGE COMPARE TO HIGH SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS WITH A CURRENT 504 PLAN OR IEP? ● High schools MUST provide the accommodations stated in a student’s current 504 Plan or IEP. ● Colleges DO NOT have an obligation to provide the accommodations stated in a student’s 504 Plan or IEP. ● Education is a RIGHT in high school. ● Education is a PRIVILEGE in college. ● High schools must provide a free and appropriate education. ● Colleges need only meet the “reasonable” (as defined by the college) needs of the student. ● High schools must identify a student’s disability. ● In college, students must identify and inform the college of their own needs before any services can be implemented. ● High schools must take charge and provide services to the student. ● In college, the student must request and seek out the reasonable services of the college. The most important skill that a student with a learning difference must develop as they enter college is SELF ADVOCACY as the student is now expected to assume responsibility for what they do and don’t do as well as the consequences of their actions. It is important to remember that, fundamentally, the goal of any high school in working with a student with learning disability is to assist the student to reach their full potential while the goal of a college is not to discriminate against a student with learning disabilities.
