Transfer Credit Explainer

If you want to take a high school or dual credit course and want to make sure it will transfer to your school or college of choice, then simply fill out the Transfer Credit form.

To ensure that the CHS credits will transfer to your local high school or college of choice, complete the Credit Transfer Form, and send it to your local high school guidance counselor or your college admission office for approval. Provided you meet your school’s transfer credit requirements and successfully complete the CHS course, your CHS high school or dual credit courses should transfer to your local school or college of choice as acceptable transfer credit. Please note, the acceptance of earned transfer credits is determined by the receiving institution.
