College Planning Workshop: Course Work Selection

Planning which high school courses you will take in each year is important. Newport Beach Public Library in partnership with C2 Education will help you select courses that make the most sense for you and your college goals.

First, know your graduation requirements. Then figure out which courses you have to take each semester in order to meet graduation requirements. You'll typically have two or three free class periods each semester -- how will you fill them? Will you take four years of a language? Are there elective AP classes you can take? Does your school offer electives that suit your intended major? Do the colleges or major you want to apply have requirements?

By planning ahead, you'll ensure that you hit all of your graduation requirements while making the most of your elective periods.

This is a free event but registration is required and space is limited.

Age Level: High school sophomores, juniors, and seniors
