Information about Courses and Programs - Course Request Season

You must enroll at the CSD Central Office/Wilson Center located at 125 Electric Avenue Decatur, GA 30030.

Make sure you supply all academic information to CSD Enrollment Services when you enroll your student (official transcripts, report cards, program eligibility information (IDEA, 504, Gifted, SST, etc...). CSD Enrollment Services will notify Decatur High School when your student's enrollment is complete. Your student's assigned counselor will review the student's files and based upon DHS graduation requirements place students in the appropriate classes. Counselors will reach out to you as needed to complete student schedules.

When you enroll at the CSD Central Office/Wilson Center, you will receive this New Student Letter and a course request worksheet that corresponds to your grade level. You can find course request worksheets for each grade level on the Course Request Season page.

WHAT HAPPENS TO MY GPA WHEN I TRANSFER SCHOOLS?

Your former school may have used a different points granting system for GPA calculation than we do. When a student transfers, their GPA must be calculated by using the CSD/DHS points granting system for GPA calculation. This often means when a student transfers their DHS GPA is different (could be higher or lower) than their GPA at the former school.
