The notice must include a description of all course work for which he/she plans to enroll and for which he/she requests high school graduation credit.
The principal or his/her designee at each high school will determine which of the requested courses will be granted high school graduation credit. Credit will be denied for courses which do not meet or do not exceed graduation requirements in subject content or grade.
If credit toward graduation is denied for any of the requested courses, the Executive Director of High School Education will notify the student in writing of the reason within 10 working days of receipt of the enrollment notice and will provide the student with a copy of the procedures and forms for appeal to the Board of Education.

The Board must notify the student in writing of its decision within 30 working days of his/her filing the appeal. If the Board upholds the denial of high school credit, it must provide the student with procedures and forms for appeal to the State Board of Education.
