General Course Information

Outside Courses

Outside Courses

San José Unified only accepts credits for classes taken outside of the district if it meets specific criteria. Classes must be high school level courses listed on the University of California A-G Course List or Community College courses listed on assist.org as UC/CSU transferable to be approved.

Contact your counselor to submit outside credit for approval to be recorded on your high school transcript. We do not accept online Visual & Performing Arts, Physical Education, or Science courses.

Students may take outside courses for remediation or acceleration purposes. Our staff do not monitor grades or provide materials for outside coursework. Students are responsible for completing work on time and submitting their final grades to the counselor.
