What to Expect as an Early College student
Early College opportunities are met with an increase in rigor and responsibility. As Early College students, participants will be expected to embrace these challenges.
For such reasons, the SCOH will work with the Ivy Tech College Connection Coach and supporting faculty to foster a healthy balance between supporting our Early College students while helping them build their own independence and resilience.
Hobart University works with Ivy Tech College to help students embrace these differences, build their own independence, and make this transition smooth. Students are in charge of their learning. The SCOH and Ivy Tech will partner to assist students in every way possible.
