Please note the Sample of Approved Outside Institutions for Non-District Courses is NOT a complete list. SRVUSD maintains data of students who have taken courses outside of our District and the following is a list of the most commonly used institutions. If you do not find your preferred institution on this list, it does not necessarily mean it is not approved.

 

 

 

This list is NOT a complete list of courses that can be taken and may not include the most up-to-date approved courses.  Institutions are submitting approvals for courses regularly; therefore, it would be impossible to compile a list that would include every course that could be taken. If there is a course that you would like to take but it is not listed, then be sure that the institution meets the requirements listed at the top of the webpage. If the institution/course does not meet even one of the above criteria, then it cannot be used for credit.

• Students are able to place up to 40 credits of non-SRVUSD coursework on their high school transcript but are limited to 20 credits per academic year, and 20 credits in any given subject area.
  • Language School credits are not included in the 40-credit total.
  • Courses taken at SRVUSD Summer School for remediation, high school graduation requirement completion, or summer advancement are not included in the 40-credit total.
  • A 1 to 2 credit college course is the equivalent to 5 SRVUSD credits.  A 3 credit course (or higher) is the equivalent to 10 SRVUSD credits.
    
    
• Students will have several opportunities to submit coursework for credit to be placed on the SRVUSD transcript. Deadlines will be updated each school year and posted on the district website.
  
  
• Once a non-SRVUSD course has been placed onto a student’s official SRVUSD transcript, it cannot be removed.
  
  
• A student taking a graduation requirement outside of SRVUSD (e.g. Algebra I) must place that grade on the transcript.
  
  
• It is the responsibility of the parent/student to determine if the non-District course is accepted by the UC/CSU system, private colleges and universities, out-of-state institutions, or NCAA as fulfilling entrance requirements. It is the responsibility of the parent/student to check with an admissions officer from each campus to which you intend to apply.
  
  
• Courses taken through providers that are WASC-accredited as Supplementary Ed will not be accepted for credit.
