<p>Hi ArlVAMom,</p>
<p>Just yesterday Dean J addressed a question regarding ‘minimum course requirements’.</p>
<p>

<p>Previously in this forum I asked if a student completes 4 years by the Jr year how is the Sr. year treated if a fifth year is offered. She indicated that they like to see core subjects all four years of high school. My understanding was it was not a matter simply of years completed, but an expectation to continue in all areas of study all four years as long as the next level class is offered.</p>
<p>On another note, we are very lucky that an admissions representative as dedicated as Dean J drops by once in a while to respond to posts and questions. She pointed out recently when people have requested information from her directly that she doesn’t check cc on a regular basis and the most direct way to reach her is on her blog, twitter, or facebook page.</p>
