Receiving Credit

In order to receive credit for a course, a student may be absent no more than 1 day per Term / semester class and must pass the final exam. Final exams are given on the last day of each Term and will not be rescheduled to accommodate absences.  A student who has to leave early or arrives late will be given a tardy.  Two tardies will result in an absence.  If a student is more than 30 minutes late or leaves more than 30 minutes early, they will be credited with an absence.

Students must enroll in both terms in order to receive a full year's worth of credit.

Families who attend a high school other than Saint Francis should verify that the course will be accepted for credit.

A note for Saint Francis Students:  While Saint Francis students are encouraged to take courses from Summer at Saint Francis for enrichment purposes, they will not receive credit for these courses with the exception of approved summer Geometry or Trigonometry advancement.

Transcripts

Transcripts will be mailed to your home, your child's school or an alternative address based on the information you provided during registration.  Transcripts are mailed on the last day of the Second Term.

Information for Saint Francis Students

Summer at Saint Francis is delighted to offer courses for remediation/credit recovery, advancement or enrichment to Saint Francis students. 

Credit Recovery/Remediation:  Students may enroll in either our in-person or fully online programs for credit recovery or remediation.  More information about student's options for remediating or recovering credit is available in the Master Grade Remediation Guidelines.  Please note that remediation and credit recovery are for grades of D or F.

Advancement:  Only students who meet the Math Department's requirements are eligible to take coursework for the purposes of advancement.  Currently we offer Geometry for rising Sophomores and Trigonometry for rising Juniors. Registration for the courses open in March. Both parents and students will be notified via email about the courses opening for enrollment and a large number of seats are set aside for SFHS students.

Online Courses:  Please view our approved list of online substitutes for Trigonometry.  Geometry advancement requires two terms of in-person coursework in a UC/CSU approved program.

Credit:  Geometry students must enroll in both terms in order to receive a full year's worth of credit. Trigonometry is a one semester course and students need only enroll in a single term.
