WORLD LANGUAGE CREDIT PETITION

• This petition only applies to world language courses taken through a Heritage School--it does NOT apply to world language courses taken through BYU or other similar online high school institutions.

• Private instruction in a world language may be added to the PUSD transcript and may exceed both the 40 credit and subject area limits outlined in AR 6146.11.

• The institution has a valid accreditation from WASC (or the equivalent accrediting agency outside CA) and has a valid Heritage School registration by a U.S. State, or has courses that have received principal certification.

• Each college/university has its own entrance requirements. The completed out-of-district course may not be accepted by the UC/CSU system, private colleges and universities, out-of-state institutions, or NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA as fulfilling eligibility requirements. It is the student’s responsibility to know and understand these parameters.

• Even when an out-of-district course is placed on a PUSD transcript, colleges require students to send both the PUSD transcript and any out-of-district transcript(s)/grade reports when applying to college. Colleges require students to list any out-of-district institution as an additional high school attended by the student.
