Legislative Refresher Domestic Academic Certification

Transcript designations Core-course implications

Campus Strategies Case Study Format

Bylaw 14.3.1.1

Increases core-course requirements from 14 to 16 Effective August 1, 2013 for those first entering

on/after August 1, 2013 3 English 2 math 2 natural/physical science (one lab) 3 additional English, math, science 2 social studies 4 additional

Bylaw 14.3.1.1

Test score requirements remain the same 68 ACT sum score 820 SAT score (critical reading and math only)

Grade-point average requirements remain the same 2.000 core GPA in the 16 core classes

Potential Impacts

Additional courses may lower GPA PSAs may try a “quick fix” through nontraditional

programs to bridge the gap

Academic Certification Process

Certification Overview

Transcript identification tips Core-course considerations Coursework taken before ninth grade Course levels Course title policies

Transcript Identification

Where? What school or program Transcript notations

• Entry/Exit Dates, Headings, Course Designations

When? Puzzle of academic time Prior to 9th grade

Transcript Identification

What? Numeric grading scale College coursework

• 2012-3

How? Online/virtual/credit recovery Brick and mortar

Core-Course Considerations

Definition Graduation credit in English, math, science, social studies,

foreign language, comparative religion/philosophy At/above the high school’s regular academic level Academic, four-year college preparatory

Life of a core course High school submits online Staff makes initial decision (approve, deny or hold for more

information) For pending courses, high school submits information for review

• Course description, course outline, course flow chart

Core-Course Considerations

Nontraditional Courses Must meet all elements of a core course Ongoing access/interaction with instructor for purposes of teaching,

evaluating, providing assistance Defined timeframe for completion

College Courses Must meet all elements of a core course Must be accepted by the high school for all students Must be on the high school transcript

• Proposal No. 2012-3

Coursework Completed Before 9th Grade

Appears on a high school transcript Course title matches high school’s list of NCAA courses Course is listed with a grade (letter or numeric) Course is listed with high school credit

Coursework Completed Before 9th Grade

College Courses- Determination Of Core Content

Transcript review Course title Course number

College website Course catalog/description Duplicative review

High school review staff may be consulted Credit awarded

Duplicative Course Issues

Courses appear on list but may be duplicates Ex: Integrated Math 1 and Algebra 1

• Both are core, but are essentially the same course• Course with best grade would be used in certification

Courses that may be taken successive years Ex: Debate I, Debate II, Debate III

• Best grade would be used for maximum one credit• Sometimes appear on list as Debate I OR Debate II OR Debate III

On-Campus Strategies

Early transcript procurement/review Ask questions about transcript designations,

repeated courses, courses out of district, etc. Repeated courses likely credit recovery

Ask PSA about additional coursework PSA registration process captures additional coursework

IF the PSA completes it Helpful to certification process

Use resources on high school portal
