Transfer of Credit Policy


Monday, October 16, 2023

 

The District of Columbia ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Schools (DCPS) is committed to ensuring every student feels loved, challenged, and prepared to positively influence society and thrive in life by providing rigorous and inclusive learning environments for all students. When a new student transfers into ºìÐÓÖ±²¥appfrom another school district, ºìÐÓÖ±²¥appwill work to ease and support this transition in several ways, including the evaluation of any available transcripts or other educational records to create an accurate record of the student’s academic progress and continue their education and journey towards graduation in DCPS.

The ºìÐÓÖ±²¥apptranscript serves as the official legal record of a student’s progress toward a ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app school diploma, and DC regulations establish the minimum graduation requirements for students enrolled in ºìÐÓÖ±²¥appto earn a ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app school diploma. Transfer transcripts and other authorized documents are evaluated to apply credits to graduation requirements and maintain an accurate record of students’ academic history.

This policy conveys ºìÐÓÖ±²¥apprequirements on the process for transferring credits of students who are new or returning to ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app(i.e., transfer students) to their ºìÐÓÖ±²¥apptranscripts. It describes required documentation for the transfer of credits, grades, and community service hours; the processes for converting credits and grades to the ºìÐÓÖ±²¥apptranscript; and rules for transferring records of course work completed by students who were previously homeschooled or educated outside of the United States.
