When Bishop Amat students take college level classes, they need to be aware that there are limitations to the acceptances of these courses for high school credit.

Bishop Amat High School may accept college courses for credit in the following situations only:

1. In order to make up a failing grade when the make-up class is not available at Bishop Amat during the summer.
2. In order to fulfill the Fine Arts and Computer Science requirements for graduation.
3. In order to accelerate to the advanced levels of science or mathematics. Algebra, Geometry, Integrated Science, and Biology courses must be taken at Bishop Amat.

In these cases, the following conditions must be met:

1. The student must obtain approval of the Studies Office before the class is taken. The appropriate college form and course description must be presented.
2. Upon completion of the course, the student must request an official transcript be mailed to the Studies Office. In general, ten semester units of high school credit will be awarded for a three unit college course. High School Courses for Transfer.

In general, courses from other high schools are not transferable to Bishop Amat for credit or to effect the GPA. ROP, Adult School, Night School, and other special program courses are not accepted. The following are exceptions:

1. Students who are applying for admission, or re-admission, to Amat will have their transcripts evaluated as part of the admissions process.
2. To fulfill the Fine Arts or Computer Science requirements, those courses may be taken in public school summer programs. Permission to take these off-campus classes must be obtained, in writing, from the Studies Office prior to registering in the class. This policy applies to first time classes only; students who fail a class must attend Bishop Amat summer school. Students who wish to re-take a "D" grade, must re-take that course at Bishop Amat if they want it to be reflected on their Bishop Amat transcript.
