High School Credits for Middle School Students

Middle school students may receive high school credit for certain courses. The Courses and the Calendar require specific settings for their transcript to reflect these courses and have their credit totals accurately reflect courses taken in middle school. 

Use the Transcript Post tool to add these courses to a student's Transcript record.
