ABOUT CAYUGA ADVANTAGE

Cayuga courses taught at local high schools by qualified high school instructors.

Any high school student whose 16th birthday occurs after December 1 of the academic year may enroll with the approval of his/her guidance counselor and a signed consent form from his/her parent or guardian. Please note: Only students who meet specific prerequisite requirements and have been recommended by a teacher or guidance counselor are eligible.

High school teachers who wish to offer a Cayuga Advantage course should first speak with high school officials and the Cayuga Advantage contact person in their school district to secure their support. An instructor’s credentials (resume, transcripts, certificates) should be forwarded to the Cayuga Advantage Coordinator as early as possible for review. Cayuga faculty in the relevant Academic Division will determine competency.
