Taking Courses for Credit Outside of Redwood

Procedure to Acquire Alternative Credits Toward Graduation

1. The student/family makes a written request using form E(1) 6146.11, Request for Alternate Credits Towards Graduation from their high school counselor prior to enrolling in the course.
2. The student/family is responsible for submitting additional course descriptions and/or courses of study as required by the district in order to determine if a particular course may be taken to meet a graduation requirement.
3. The student's high school Principal must approve the request.
4. Once the Alternative Credit Course is completed, it is the student's responsibility to request an official transcript  be sent to the Records Secretary at Redwood High School, Diana Fernandez (dfernandez@tamdistrict.org).
5. A maximum of 20 credits  are permitted to be added to the Redwood transcript earned through alternative credits.
