Community

Since 1994, CVU seniors have been taking responsibility for their own academic program by creating a course for themselves. Our community-at-large offers innumerable options from volunteering at a non-profit, to working within a company, to exploring a trade, to trying a hobby, to… the choices are endless. It is up to the student to decide.

For information specific to you see:

• Community Consultants
• Community Panelists
• Parents

For Community Consultants

Your role as the Community Consultant is to offer support and resources to the student as s/he works through the Grad Challenge Program. We ask that you:

• Meet at least once per quarter
• Sign the initial Grad Challenge contract
• Complete a brief Mid-Year Report
• Verify project completion and
• Read a draft of the tri-search paper for content accuracy
  

It is the student's responsibility to commuicate with the Community Consultant about the Graduation Challenge Program. The student is responsible for getting all of the forms and his/her Tri-Search Paper to the Consultant in advance of all the deadlines, and then getting these forms to his/her CVU Faculty Advisor.
