Frequently Asked Questions
Do courses count for grade improvement or replacement?
would like to accelerate their learning.
Are you UC approved?
In order for coursework completed at CEF Summer Academy to be recognized by UC to satisfy the “a-g” subject requirements, the principal of the student’s home high school must certify that the course is comparable to other college-preparatory courses offered at the high school. UC expects that such “certification” follows a careful review of the curriculum and/or testing of ability level by the principal, department chair, district curriculum director or other qualified school/district personnel. The principal designates their certification by granting permission for the course to be listed on the student’s transcript, along with credits granted and grades earned.
How is the transcript provided to the student?
A transcript will be mailed to the school of record and the student’s home address. For additional information please see the Student Handbook.
How many students are in each class?
Our average class size is approximately 12 students.
Classes that do not meet minimum enrollment requirements of six (6) students may be cancelled by Summer Academy.
Can I make-up for missed days with the instructor?
A typical Summer Academy day is roughly equivalent to one week of school during the normal school year. It is expected that students will attend class daily and be on time at the beginning of class and return after any class breaks. There are no “excused absences” during Summer Academy. Regardless of the reason for the absence, any student who exceeds the allowable number of absences (see below) for the course will be dropped from the class and will not receive course credit. In addition, students must still follow the Drop Request Form Procedure to avoid failing the class. Refunds will not be given for unused days whether it is due to dropping the course, vacation, special events, short-term illnesses, or other personal commitments requiring an absence from class. Parents or guardians will be notified if a student has been dropped from a class. More than 3 absences in a 10 credit course or 1.5 absences (8 hours) in a 5 credit course will result in the student being dropped from the course. No exceptions will be made.
Who are the teachers for HSSA?
Teachers for Summer Academy are from the North County area and credentialed in the subject area they are teaching.
