FAQs
Can I sign up if I am not in the grade levels listed?

If you are in Grade 12 (Lower 6th form), or Junior year for US-based students, then you should sign up for our College Prep Program instead.
If you are in Grade 12 (Lower 6th form), or Junior year for US-based students, then you should sign up for our College Prep Program instead.
will i automatically be enrolled in the college prep program, once the college roadmap program ends?
You will not be automatically enrolled, since College Prep is a separate fee. After you graduate from our College Roadmap program, you can choose to enroll in College Prep starting in the summer before Grade 12/Lower 6th Form/ Junior Year. The College Prep program begins in September. You can view these prices here. Our College Roadmap students will benefit from a 25% discount on College Prep.
If i pay for 3 months, can I upgrade to the one year package?
You can, however, please note that the 3 month plan will condense the timeline significantly from the 1 year plan. This means that when you upgrade to the 1 year plan, the timeline will be a little skewed.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. If you opt for a payment plan, the total cost of the package increases by USD $150. You are required to make a 50% deposit of the full package cost to start, and then make 2 payments of the remaining 50%.
CAN I SIGN UP IF I AM NOT LOCATED IN JAMAICA?
Absolutely! All of our programs are online, and we work with many students who we have never met in-person. No matter where you are from, you will benefit from our full-range of services.
IF I CHOOSE TO APPLY TO A SUMMER PROGRAM OR BOARDING SCHOOL DURING THE PROGRAM, WILL COLLEGE QUO HELP WITH THE APPLICATION PROCESS?
For summer programs, we will absolutely help our students to apply. But not for Boarding Schools. Applying to Boarding School is an entirely separate process, and is not covered under the College Roadmap program.
