High School Enrollment Assessment

Prior to consideration and determination of eligibility, high school staff will review, among other things:

  1. Past classes taken
  2. Academic history
  3. Credits
  4. Logs
  5. Attendance
  6. Transcripts
  7. Student’s age
  8. Semester taken in-state and out-of-state
  9. Semester taken in non-traditional academic events

The purpose of this review will be to determine “prior semester” earned credit and the students’ grade placement upon enrollment.  In doing so, staff will determine if credit for courses taken will be granted for purpose of the 80% requirement rule.

  1. Seat time credit (minimum of one unit of credit) will be placed on the transcript
  2. Outside courses must be approved and validated in meeting the 80% rule.
