<p>I've heard for years that "one semester of a college course equals 2 semesters of a high school course."</p>
<p>Has anyone tried to give a one semester dual credit college course a year's worth of highschool credit on a transcript?</p>
<p>My daughter's college French teacher did just say that a semester of her French class was equivalent to two high school semesters of French. </p>
<p>How does that go over with university admissions people? Can you use one year of college English to work for two years of high school English? Or do we just weigh those college courses like an AP class on the transcipt?</p>
<p>I’ve always heard that as well, but we didn’t do it. What we did was just report a semester for a semester, but noted that he was taking college classes, and weighted it on the GPA.</p>
<p>Our d’s dual enrollment community college classes were reported as such on her transcript - one semester classes with a notation that it was a college class. ie. She took Calculus in the Fall and no math in the Spring of her senior year (but then she took no science in the Fall and did take college Physics in Spring). She had to have an offical transcript sent from the college for several college and scholarship applications. There was no problem with that from any admissions departments. They know that a semester of college is usually equivalent to a year’s worth of high school classes.</p>
<p>I’ve always heard that too. I didn’t really classify things in terms of “high school credits” or “college credits” on my kids’ transcripts though. I just put down what the class was, where they took it and what grade they received. For us, the high school is on semesters but the local univ. is on quarters. In my own mind I felt more than safe in assuming a quarter of a college class was worth at least a semester of high school, and two college quarters were greater than or equal to a year of high school.</p>
<p>I also, of course, sent the college transcripts along with the homeschool transcript and the high school’s transcript of the few courses taken there.</p>
