Contact your counselor to submit outside credit for approval to be recorded on your high school transcript. We do not accept online Visual & Performing Arts, Physical Education, or Science courses.
Students may take outside courses for remediation or acceleration purposes. Our staff do not monitor grades or provide materials for outside coursework. Students are responsible for completing work on time and submitting their final grades to the counselor.
