Graduation Requirements for Transfer Students

Students entering MEHS later than freshman year will have a transcript review.  For these students, equivalent courses may be approved to meet requirements and an adjustment may be made in required electives credits if student's prior school offered less than 7 credits/year.

Transcript evaluations of transfer credits will be at the discretion of the academic principal.

Definition of Unit of Credit

The term “unit of credit” shall have the definition given in 4 AAC 06.075(e), i.e. the credit that a student is awarded for achieving a passing grade in a course of study by meeting the performance standards for a course of study prescribed by MEHS and approved by the State Board under policy 5.2 of this manual.
