What is CU Succeed Gold?
The CU Succeed Gold Program enables students to earn university credits prior to graduating from high school, offering a curriculum comprised of lower-division courses within UC Denver's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering and Applied Science and College of Arts & Media. These courses are taught in the high school by high school faculty whose education and experience are appropriate for a lecturer appointment in one of the academic departments. Lecturers must have a Master's degree in the discipline in which they teach or its equivalent as determined by the department faculty.
How does the program work?
If approved as a Lecturer, you will work with the CU Succeed Programs at UC Denver to insure that the course you are offering your students is comparable in every way to the same course on campus. Your syllabus is reviewed by the appropriate academic department every term. Administrative procedures mirror those on campus, i.e. students enroll online and pay their tuition through the UCD Bursar's Office, students complete Instructor evaluations, and grades are reported to the University by you using official University grade sheets. The credit earned by students becomes part of their permanent record at the University of Colorado.
CU Succeed Gold Lecturers are not paid directly by the University; instead, a portion of each enrollment is paid back to the high school in the form of an Administrative Stipend. The CU Succeed Gold tuition rate is $75 per credit hour, and the stipend rate is $8 per credit hour.
How do I apply?
If you wish to be considered for a Lecturer appointment, follow the procedures outlined in the Lecturer Appointment Guide. Your application must include the completed Lecturer Appointment Form, signed by your principal. The deadline for the 12-13 AY is April 15, 2012.
