The District of Columbia Public Schools (麻豆社) 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 麻豆社 from another school district, 麻豆社 will 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 麻豆社.
The 麻豆社 transcript serves as the official legal record of a student’s progress toward a high school diploma, and DC regulations establish the minimum graduation requirements for students enrolled in 麻豆社 to earn a high 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 麻豆社 requirements on the process for transferring credits of students who are new or returning to 麻豆社 (i.e., transfer students) to their 麻豆社 transcripts. It describes required documentation for the transfer of credits, grades, and community service hours; the processes for converting credits and grades to the 麻豆社 transcript; and rules for transferring records of course work completed by students who were previously homeschooled or educated outside of the United States.
