List of frequently asked questions to complete high school requirements
Can I Take Online Courses Outside of SFUSD?
Students may access Non-SFUSD Coursework using the following guidelines:
Current SFUSD students may access non-SFUSD courses either online, at a private school or
program, college, or university for enrichment, advancement, college preparation/exploration,
or credit recovery. These courses can count toward high school credits if student enrolls and completes
the course during 9-12 grades and the course meets the following criteria:
- The school, program, college, or university is accredited
- The course meets instructional hours (12 instructional hours = 1 HS credit -- 60 instructional hours = 5
HS credits) (College Level coursework on a college campus has a credit equivalency 1 college unit = 3.3
HS credits, 2 college units = 6.6 HS credits, 3 college units = 10 HS credits) - The school or program issues an official transcript upon completion of course
- Course is a-g approved on CMP: Course Management Portal (View Video Tutorial for Searching Portal)
- Student completes the Non-SFUSD Coursework Permission/Consent form
and approval must be granted by the school principal or counselor prior to enrolling in the course. - Courses taken outside SFUSD during the school year (not summer) should not be used for supplanting a
high school graduation requirement the student has access to at their school site unless there are
special circumstances as determined by the principal or principal designee.
Examples of programs that meet these requirements include:
- UC Scout (Must be On Demand course, not the Plus or the Basic. )
- Apex Virtual Learning
- BYU
- Silicon Valley
- California Virtual Academy
- Greenways Academy
PLEASE NOTE: SFUSD cannot be liable or responsible for fees charged by non-SFUSD programs, and we will not make recommendations of which program to select. Student & family must research programs and what they each offer and cost to find the best fit. The above list is not vetted by SFUSD. This is just a list of programs SFUSD students have explored that are a-g approved.
