  Use college search to look up a specific college’s academic requirement to be sure you are on track to attend a college of your choice.

If you have concerns about your class schedule or progress in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser. There are many resources to help you with achieving this process, and achieving your personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander in all sorts of directions. Goals give your purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion for that which you really desire. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals and often make changes as necessary, work hard to achieve your goals, and continue working hard until you actually do achieve your goals.
