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.

Determining Status of Bonafide Students¹

Consider whether:

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.
3. Review and assess outside classes including where relevant testimonial evidence, course syllabi, timeliness for such classes
4. Review of Academic Success, including work logs, attendance, hours of instruction,grades achieved, transcripts, confirmatory testing where deemed necessary
5. Ensure close of semester for non-traditional option 2 students is designated
6. All students, traditional and non-traditional, must satisfy citizenship standards, semester rules, age rules, etc.
7. Uniformity of standards and policies for all students
