Code No. 501.6
Student Transfers In
Pupils of other districts transferring to our district will not knowingly be allowed to participate at our district if there is a question that they would be eligible. From time-to-time pupils or parents of pupils will try this procedure due to the fact the student would be ineligible at the parenting district. This should never be knowingly permitted when the primary reason is for maintaining the student’s eligibility.
Rationale: Students transferring to Davis County High School are expected to work for graduation requirements of our school. Credits will be transferred for all passing courses at previous schools attended. Future schedules will be set up assuming the student will graduate from DCHS.

All transfer students entering Davis County High School must provide proof of 8th grade completion and then will be enrolled at grade 9 level. Non-accredited course work will not be accepted toward graduation.
