College Credit Program
The College Advantage Program is a combined educational activity conducted through affiliation with St. John’s University. The program is designed to provide Senior and Junior students with a challenging and profitable learning experience. Combining the best of high school and college work environments, eligible students may begin work toward their college degree by taking courses through the College Advantage Program.
Please be aware that St. John’s University has certain eligibility requirements. As of this printing, any student who wishes to participate must have a score of at least 1000 on the PSAT or SAT, and an academic average of 80% for Seniors and 85% for Juniors.
Courses conducted under this program are fully accredited college courses and the credit gained will have the same weight as if the courses were taken at the University by a matriculated or special student. The credits are then transferable to many colleges and universities across the country. The courses themselves will be taught by Mary Louis faculty at Mary Louis, and will be credited toward all diploma requirements. Thus, participating students will earn both Mary Louis and University credit for their work in this program.
Students are responsible to determine if the college they plan to attend will accept credit obtained through the College Advantage Program. Registration for the College Advantage Program takes place in the Fall and Spring. A student who is not sure of the college she will be attending, or does not know what credit will be accepted by the College of her choice should weigh carefully her decision before registering for this program.
Please consult the College Advantage Program Bulletin for details.
St. John’s University requires a fee for each course, each semester, for which a student registers. Because the fee is subject to change, it is not noted here but published in the College Advantage Program Bulletin. TMLA also requires a registration fee at the time of registration.
