<p>All,</p>
<p>I am the father of a 12th grader preparing her applications for colleges. One summer, she earned a year of high school credit attending a summer language camp. She insists that because this is recorded as credited on her regular high school transcript, she does not need a separate transcript from the summer program. It seems to me that she should have that document sent directly from the (accredited) institution that offered the course. I haven't been able to find clarification on university admissions web sites. </p>
<p>Does anybody know?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>One of my kids had two years of credit from Concordia Language Villages. Her high school did NOT accept the credit (they have a rule that they do not accept any outside credits). They did have her get a transcript to them (the high school admin office), and they included it with the high school transcript when they sent it to the colleges. So even though they wouldn’t accept the credits, they handled the transcript process. Go figure…</p>
<p>You could contact the colleges and ask them. But I assume her high school would not have put it on their HS transcript without some official transcript from the camp.</p>
<p>That’s very interesting and suggests that my daughter is right, but I don’t see how that works. The high school only has one copy (and yes, hers too is a Concordia Language Village course), so they can only send copies to the colleges. In many cases, the colleges want originals (but perhaps only from the principal high school and not from ancillary schools?)</p>
<p>Not sure how it works, either, but I know the colleges did see the info. I think you are over thinking this. It isn’t like they are going to give her college credit for the work. She might want to list it as an activity if you want to make sure they notice it, the colleges will not mind this. Or she can put something like this in Additional Information:</p>

<li>Attended Concordia Language Villages Swedish language camp as credit villager the summer after 11th grade. Equivalent of one year of high school credit received (on high school transcript). </li>
</ul>
<p>Or something like that.</p>
