Transferring Credits from an Accredited High School
• The class submitted for credit must be a credit-bearing class
• The student must have a passing final grade of 60% or above
• An official transcript from the school where the student received the actual credits must be submitted
Transferring Credits from a Private Unaccredited High School, Home-School, or Informal Setting
• The class submitted for credit must be congruent in content and academic level as offered by Champion.
• An official transcript (or grade report in the case of a home school) must be submitted.
• The student must have used a standard high school level textbook (a fill-in-the-blank workbook approach is not
acceptable), and taken closed-book tests or essay exams.
• The student must have received a passing grade of 60% or higher.
• Form 603 Transfer of Records must be submitted by the parent to the student’s previous school or homeschool
parents must submit a transcript and record of all courses taken.
• Champion reserves the right to request additional documentation for the course. In the event that a
student does not have the required final exam(s) and/or research paper, the following methods may be
used to transfer credit: (a) a student may demonstrate mastery of the material of an earlier level of math,
English, or a foreign language by successfully passing a Champion entrance exam and at least one
semester of work with a grade of 60% or better. (For example, if a student passes the entrance exam to
Algebra II and earns at least a 60% in Pre-Calculus the first semester, the transfer credit would be accepted;
(b) at its discretion, Champion may administer comprehensive exams for academic subjects being
transferred. A student would receive credit with a grade of 70% or better on the exam(s); For foreign
language classes, students will be expected to show proficiency by taking a Champion foreign language
exam corresponding to the level they wish to transfer.
• Current students wishing to take courses outside of Champion and transfer those credits must make prior
arrangements with the Academic Advisor.
Transfer of Credits for Elective Courses
In the event a student wishes to apply for transfer of elective courses, Champion must receive a transcript or
progress report from the official instructor of the class.
• The student must receive 67.5 hours of instruction for .5 credit and 135 hours for 1.0 credit.
• Hours of instruction for elective credits (Athletics, Forensic Science, Computer Courses, Fine Arts, etc.) will
only begin accruing the summer before the 9th grade year.
New Senior Enrollment
CPA accepts students in their senior year until October 1. Seniors must complete six credits with CPA and
complete all CPA graduation requirements. All seniors must have their records reviewed before final acceptance.
All seniors are required to take the SAT (college board) or ACT as part of their graduation requirements (see score
requirements on the graduation requirements page). If a student has not achieved the required scores on the SAT
or ACT, we will consider a passing score on a College Placement Test (PERT) or a high school exit exam. Students
Senior Year Course Load
Your senior year class schedule should reflect a challenging course load. Colleges frequently request
confirmation on whether a student has taken the most rigorous program available when determining
scholarships. Grades during the senior year are just as important as during any other year. Every college will
request a final transcript upon graduation and scholarships may be revoked if grade point averages and/or class
rank no longer meet the scholarship criteria.
