Before you begin, you’ll need a few things: an adult guardian who can legally consent to your participation, a recent report card (Q3 if possible) to upload, and for iCamp for Credit an unofficial transcript, work showing your potential, and the name and contact details of a teacher/admin at school. You’ll need a teacher’s help to get the transcript from Infinite Campus, but the report should be available easily to all students in the district. 

You’ll log in with a google address and you can edit/add to your application using that same google login.

You’ll need to be able to answer demographic questions about yourself and be ready to talk about your experience and interest in making media. Most importantly, we’ll want to make sure you’re invested in using media to address social issues, so we’ll ask you to write a paragraph or two about your social justice passions.  Feel free to draft the paragraphs in another window and paste them into the online form.  We’d love to see urls for your stuff– social issues, community organizations, or media.

What are WE looking for? Rising seniors (current juniors) who are excited, motivated, passionate change makers who want to work with West Chester University!
