PotentialRisks

● Be aware that procedures & classroom expectations could be very different from your FHSD school

● College grading scales may be different from FHSD. The grade

reported from the college will be what appears on your transcript.

● Calendar years can be different. All final grades must be

reported to your high school before graduation in order to participate in the ceremony. Also, school breaks may not line up, and if you are taking courses through both schools, you may not get to take a school break.

● Transferability does not equal applicability


CC+ Courses must:be non-religious,

& be non-remedial


Credit Limits

• Limits 30 semester credit hours per school year (includes summer school)

• Not more than 120 semester hour credits in middle & high school combined


CreditEquivalence

Three or more CC+

semester hour credits

= 1 High School Carnegie unit


Total CreditLimits by Year

● Determine # of high school credits taking

(Carnegie units)

● Multiply that number by 3

● Subtract result from 30

● = total # of CC+ semester credit hours in a single

school year


Example:5 HS Carnegie units

X 3 = 15

Result:No more than 15 CC+

credits allowed


• In many CC+ courses, students who earn a C or better receive a GPA add-on. Please see your counselor for details.

• GPA add-on weight will be equal to the greatest add-on weight given in the FHSD content department.

Advanced Standing Given to CC+Courses
