Mike Kossak's Blog

      As a newcomer to the job in college Admissions and/or Student Services, I found this online course extremely informative, well-written and user-friendly to people like me who are "technologically challenged" on various electronic gadgets. As an English teacher, writer, and editor, it was fascinating for me to see the legal 'backdrop' of precise information required by the FLDOE and the FIC in the composing and writing of the college's course catalog and its financial (and other) documents. 

     One question that I have from working this week with students who want to transferr credits into our institution concerns the 'age' of the courses being considered. How old is 'too old' for a course to be transferred? What would be some good criteria for making these determinations? The reason that I ask this question is because there are older students applying to our programs. I wouldn't want to discourage their efforts as life-long learners in a discriminatory way. Please tell me how you might deal with this practical quandary...
