Transition to College
The information on this page can help you learn about academic life after high school. Most of the links on this page take you away from the LSC-Dual Credit site.
New College Information Website
The U.S. Department of Education has launched http://www.college.gov/, a new website that aims to motivate students with inspirational stories and information about planning, preparing and paying for college. Designed with students' input and participation, college.gov was created by the U.S. Department of Education to be a go-to online resource for credible information about college that also provides real life experiences of peers who are already attending college.
