High School Enrollment: Cover-Only Option

Choose the Cover-Only enrollment option for high school students who do not require an official Wet Mountain School transcript or diploma.

How to Assign High School Credits

You can assign credits using one of two methods: Content-Based Credits or Time-Based Credits.

Content-Based Credits

Many commonly used curricula specify recommended credit values for each course. Typically, standard core subjects such as math or science are assigned 1.00 credit per full course, regardless of the actual time your student takes to complete it.

Time-Based Credits

For courses without clearly defined credit values or curricula suggestions, you can assign credits based on time spent. Generally:

• 120 hours = 1 credit for elective courses
  
  

• 150 hours = 1 credit for standard core courses
  
  

• 180 hours = 1 credit for honors core courses
  
  

Reporting Semester Credits for Year-Long Courses

For courses spanning two semesters, divide the total credit evenly between semesters. For example, a 1.00-credit core course completed over two semesters would be reported as 0.50 credit per semester. The combined credits from both semesters represent the full year credit.

College/Dual Enrollment Courses

Credits for College Courses

Wet Mountain School recommends using the traditional conversion between college and high school credits commonly accepted by schools. If you wish to submit credits exceeding this standard, please contact Wet Mountain School for guidance.

Reporting College Courses

When reporting college classes for high school credit:

• Enter the course name.
  
  

• Include the abbreviated college name, course number, and course title in the course name field.
