TEST-OUT OPTION FOR EARNING CARNEGIE CREDIT
Beginning in school year 2013-2014, Georgia State Board Rule 160-5-1-.15 allows students to earn course credit in high school courses for which there is an associated Milestones End Of Course Test. Students may demonstrate subject area competency and earn course credit by scoring “Distinguished Learner” on the EOC Test. This process for earning course credit is identified as “testing-out.”
Students must meet predetermined eligibility criteria to qualify for “testing-out.” See the high school counselor for the list of criteria, related procedures and application. Each test- out attempt incurs a $50 test fee required before testing. This fee is refundable only when the score earned on the EOC Test is “Distinguished Learner” and the student accepts the course credit using the test-out option. NCAA does not accept high school credits earned by “test-out.” Additionally, post-secondary schools outside the state of Georgia may not accept test-out credits. Students are encouraged to check with any prospective university regarding their policy.
TRANSCRIPTS
Transcript requests for students who graduated in the past two years may be made by completing a transcript request form and submitting it to the secretary in the School Counseling Office. While there is a $7.00 fee for all final transcripts (i.e. graduating seniors, graduates, withdrawn students), there are no fees imposed for electronic transcripts.
Students who graduated more than two years ago may to Parchment.com to request a transcript. Go to “Get A Copy of” tab where you will be redirected to Need My Transcript website. A fee will be charged for transcripts. At this time, Hall County School District does not offer an option to pick up your transcript in person. There is now an option to send documents electronically on the Need My Transcript website. If you need any documents other than your transcript, please call.
TRANSPORTATION
Students may ride the school bus if students live in the proper school's attendance zone. Riding the bus is a privilege, and students must cooperate with the bus driver at all times in order to ensure the safety of students and others on the bus. Parents are asked to avoid bus loading zones at the schools when buses are loading or unloading students.
