Summer Advancement Via Outside Institution
2024-2025 Summer Advancement Application - Deadline June 27, 2024
SUMMER ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM
Students are able to take courses to advance to a higher level course for the next school year beginning in the spring of each year.
The following criteria must be met:
- Students may not begin a course until after the first day of the second semester of their 8th grade year (courses taken before then are not eligible).
- Students in 8th grade cannot complete a course prior to the last day of school (June 5, 2024) regardless of whether or not the course is going to be placed on the SRVUSD transcript.
Note: If a student wants to take Algebra 1 outside of SRVUSD, the student must place the course onto their SRVUSD high school transcript and, therefore, cannot complete the course prior to the last day of eighth grade.
- Courses must be taken from institutions that meet these requirements:
- The institution is WASC or regionally accredited and offers coursework that leads to a high school diploma
Institutions that have only Supplemental accreditation do not qualify (i.e. Art of Problem Solving, John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, UC Scout, Language Bird, etc.) - The institution is UC approved
- The institution issues letter grades and official transcripts
- The institution is WASC or regionally accredited and offers coursework that leads to a high school diploma
- Students can only advance one level per subject, per year
- There is a limit of 4 classes (40 high school credits) that can be placed on the transcript over a student's four years in high school, with students being able to place only 20 credits per academic year, and a maximum of 20 credits in any given subject area.
- It is up to the student/parent to confirm that the course/institution chosen meets NCAA eligibility requirements
- If students have questions, they should confirm eligibility with their academic counselor prior to enrolling in the course.
APPROVED COURSES & INSTITUTIONS
The link above is a fairly comprehensive list of courses and institutions that are most commonly used for Advancement purposes. The information presented here is accurate. However, it is the student's/parent's responsibility to verify that institutions still have the necessary accreditation and that courses are still UC approved by visiting the links provided in the document prior to enrolling in a course. Accreditation and UC approval can change from year to year.
If you have questions about a specific course or institution that you do not see on the list, confirm they have the necessary accreditation, UC approval, and they issue letter grades and official transcripts. If they do not meet these requirements, they probably are not acceptable.
**Please note: UC Scout is approved for the UC system; however, it may not be accepted by private California colleges and out of state universities. Please verify with each college on the student's application list to ensure they will get credit for entrance requirements.
