Transfer Credit For High School Courses

Will high school courses taken outside of Oakwood transfer?

Any coursework designed to achieve credit at Oakwood High School must be approved by the administration prior to the close of the school year. This will generally involve at least one parent conference during which we will discuss the merits of the summer program versus a year-long course at Oakwood. Parents should provide Oakwood with a copy of the confirmed registration for the course, as well as a course description.

Upon completion of the summer course and before the next school year opens, the student may be required to take an assessment of the work completed, to determine mastery of the material, compared to that of a course taken at Oakwood. Early August completion of this requirement would ensure that the student's schedule for the coming school year will reflect the credit.

No outside courses will be placed on Oakwood’s transcript. Courses taken outside of Oakwood will be on a separate transcript that will be sent to colleges. Grades for outside courses will not be averaged into a student’s GPA.

Oakwood cannot guarantee that a student can be scheduled for the next level course, if it is outside the standard options available to students at a particular grade level.
