3-Day Half-Credit Experiences
These 3-day courses take place during the school day and are great for students who:
- Are unsure about ABLE and want to start with a shorter experience.
- Want to try out a new skill. Want to prepare for a longer course.
- Want to reduce the impact on their academic courses.
- Already enjoy ABLE and want to add more experiences to their DV education.
3-day, ½-credit courses will allow students to take 2 shorter courses over their time at DV to satisfy their ABLE credit. Please recognize that it may take more time and planning to complete 2 courses.
