High School Credits for Middle School Students

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

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