Credit Transcription Process & Timing
Credit is transcripted during the summer for the previous spring term. For example, credit earned during the 2020-21 school year will be transcripted during the summer of 2021, and show up on the student application as Spring 2021.
After high school teachers have entered students' grades and credit recommendations, college staff pulls records from CATEMA and formats them, so we can enroll students in the course and transcript their credit. Due to the high volume of students and classes, this is a lengthy process, and our goal is to have all credit transcrited by September 1st of each year. We transcript the final exam grade from CATEMA with a notation of "Credit by Exam."
