How are grade/class placements and/or credits determined for students transferring into Alabama schools from in- and out-of-state schools/school settings?
Students transferring from accredited public or non-public schools/school settings will have all credits and current class/grade placement accepted upon receipt of their official transcript(s) without validation. The state Board and the U.S. Department of Education recognize the following accrediting agencies: Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, New England Association of Schools and Colleges, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and North Western Association of Schools. For core courses, official records and national standardized tests should be used to determine placement/credit for students from non-accredited schools/school settings. Elective courses are transferred without validation.
