Rising_Scholars_Program_24-25

12 Credits Earned and Ordering Transcripts All NSU Rising Scholars courses will appear on an NSU transcript. 1. If attending a SD Regental institution (NSU, USD, SDSU, DSU, BHSU, SDSMT) you do not need to order a transcript. Your transcripts are in the SD BOR system. 2. If you are going to a private university or out-of-state, you will need to order an official NSU transcript to be sent to that university. Order here: Transcripts and Diplomas | Northern State University 3. The transcripts become a permanent part of the student’s college record and must be disclosed to any future institution of higher learning. 4. Students are responsible to consult with the institution of their choice regarding transferability of credits earned and applicability of credits earned to their intended program of study. Course Guidelines RS courses will meet all system and university requirements and be equivalent to classes held on the NSU campus. RS courses will meet NSU requirements for syllabi, textbooks, and course content, including assignments, tests, and final grades. A. Syllabus: 1. The first step toward success in any college class is to carefully read the course syllabus because it will contain vital information on course expectations, key dates, class attendance, textbook(s), other course resources, and grading criteria. Think of the syllabus as a course roadmap. Every RS course will have an approved college syllabus and students are made aware that university policies apply. (i.e. FERPA regulations, academic misconduct policies) College policies are available on the Rising Scholars Resources | Northern State University webpage. 2. Syllabi will include appropriate policies on academic disabilities, cheating, and plagiarism. Students will sign a form that says they have read the syllabus and understand all the policies before taking the course. B. Tests, Assignments, and Grading: the high school teacher will work collaboratively with the RS NSU faculty mentor to ensure that all RS classes require college-level work comparable to the corresponding college work expected in all equivalent classes taught on the NSU campus. Final Course Grades: All final grades (A, B, C, D, F) will appear on a NSU transcript. University policies on withdrawals from class and incompletes will apply. There are no minus/plus grades given. More information: Academic Information - Northern State University - Acalog ACMS™ The NSU grading scale is: A 90-100% B 80-89% C 70-79% D 60-69% F 59% and lower
