The school district is required to provide general information regarding the program to all students in grades 10 and 11 and their parents or guardians. A school district is also required to grant credit for any successfully completed course. If no comparable course is offered by the school district, the school district superintendent determines how many credits awarded will apply to specific graduation requirements and how many credits will apply to electives. Credit for the course shall not be noted on the student's high school transcript. The credit shall be applied toward high school graduation requirements or electives.
Students receive college credit only for college-level courses taken.
Students may receive high school and college credit for the same course. Costs for textbooks and transportation to and from colleges are the responsibility of the student. Many occupations listed in this guide require some proof that you have completed a high school program. If you are 19 years old or older and pass the test, you will receive a high school equivalency certificate, which most employers and schools will accept as comparable to a high school diploma. All community and technical colleges offer GED preparation classes free of charge.
