CUSD OFF-CAMPUS COURSE POLICIES

• An Off-Campus Enrollment Form must be completed by May 15th (of the previous school year) in order for high school students to take an off-campus course either during the summer or concurrently during the following school year. 

• Students are not permitted to drop a course in their schedule once the school year begins if an Off-Campus Course Enrollment Form was not submitted by the deadline the previous school year.

• No more than 40 credits from an off-campus institution may be transferred onto the CHS high school transcript.  Students must be enrolled in CUSD while attending an off-campus class in order to receive credit on a Carlsbad Unified School District transcript.

• CUSD shall grant credit toward high school graduation for coursework successfully completed at a community college, state college, public or private institution provided that:

• The “Off Campus Course Enrollment Form” is submitted by May 15th.

• The off-campus institution where the course will be taken is from an accredited institution (e.g. WASC or other regional accrediting association). 

• The course is on A-G Course List and is A-G approved.  

• Upon completion of the course, the student submits an official transcript showing completion of the course.

• It is the student's and family's responsibility to follow the steps above and to:

  • • Check the NCAA eligibility center, if applicable.

    • It is suggested that you speak with the admissions office from each campus to which you intend to apply, as some of the courses offered by off-campus institutions you have enrolled in to meet a CUSD graduation requirement may not be accepted by the UC/CSU system, private colleges and universities, out of state institutions or NCAA as fulfilling entrance requirements.  

PE 1 POLICY

All 9th-grade students at Carlsbad High School must complete PE 1 to meet the high school graduation requirement. Students may choose to complete PE 1 during the summer before 9th grade. To receive credit for an off-campus PE 1 course:

• The Off-Campus Course Enrollment Form must be submitted by May 15 showing proof of enrollment in a year long PE 1 course, 10 credits.

• The student must successfully complete the entire 10-credit course and provide a transcript before the school year begins.

Important: If the student does not complete the full 10-credit PE 1 course, they will be enrolled in PE 1 for the entire 9th-grade school year.
