Code Number: 684.08
Transfer grades from other districts presented on an official transcript will be evaluated by the building principal or his/her designee and assigned appropriate credit based on merit. The student’s transcript will be matched to the Sioux City Community School District’s graduation requirements.
Home school credits will be accepted through the third year of high school. An official transcript from the accredited home school program must be submitted to the high school principal for evaluation. The school district reserves the right to determine on a case-by-case basis whether, and to the extent how much, to transfer credit from an unaccredited environment.
Transfer students must successfully complete (pass and earn credit) five credits during the last semester of high school to earn a diploma from a Sioux City Community School District high school.
