The TUSD school board policy allows students to earn up to 40 credits for advancement toward graduation through outside educational institutions over the four years. However, courses are limited to a maximum of 10 credits per academic discipline (English, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, World Language, PE, Fine Art, etc.) if they will be applied towards graduation requirements. For credit to be accepted, the following are required:

● The institution where the course is taken must be WASC accredited.
● The student shall receive the same letter grade for high school credit as is granted by the educational institution.
● Upon completion of the course, the student must submit an official transcript to his/her counselor showing the student successfully completed the course. Once received, the course, grade, and credits will be added to the student's TUSD transcript.

Please note that the correspondence course you have selected as a graduation requirement for Torrance Unified School District may not be accepted by the UC/CSU system, private colleges and universities, out-of-state institutions, or NCAA as fulfilling entrance requirements. It is the student's responsibility to check with an admissions officer from each campus to which they intend to apply.
