Course Information
Units:
One Half Unit equals one high school semester credit. Some online high school classes include both a first and a second half unit, and they are designated accordingly in the course description. Other courses are designated as one half unit courses. Next to the course title line on your application form, check the box designated "1st" for all online high school classes, unless you are enrolling in the second half unit of the course.
Prerequisites:
Some online high school classes have prerequisites, which are listed in the course description. Courses designated second half unit require credit in the first half unit (earned either through independent study or in the high school classroom). Most courses designated as one half unit have no prerequisites.
Grades:
Upon completion of the course, students receive a grade report that gives the final exam score (if applicable) and a letter grade based on the number of points earned in the course. MU High School will not release final grades or award credit until all outstanding accounts are paid in full.
The A, B, C, D, F system of grading is used by MU High School for most independent study courses. Each course provides the grading scale and point ranges for students in that course.
Transcripts:
If you are enrolled as a middle school/elementary student, home-schooled student, or as an MU High School diploma student, your transcript will remain on file with MU High School and will be sent only upon written request. If you are a student enrolled in another institution, MU High School will automatically send your transcript to the school noted on your course application. If you want a copy of your transcript mailed elsewhere, please send a written request to the address below. The transcript request must be signed by the student if he/she is 18 or older or by the student's parent/legal guardian if the student is under the age of 18.
