SUMMER Programs/Internships/Jobs
Summer Programs and Transfer of Credit: Several students took classes at Michigan State University through their high achievers program, but also at other locales like Northwestern University and other enrichment experiences. Some of these opportunities offered high school credit for participation in this experience. Mr. Taylor encourages students to participate in many of these outstanding opportunities, and thinks it is wonderful that students have had successful learning experiences there. East Lansing High School only considers adding this credit to the student's transcript through the Transfer of Credit form in advance of participating in this experience.
In most cases, Mr. Taylor advises that if a student doesn't need the extra credit to graduate, the student doesn't need to add it to their high school transcript. Mr. Taylor will simply note the experience when he writes a student's recommendation letter for college or university admissions, scholarship participation, etc. In most cases, students taking these experience are not behind in high school credits, and if placed on the transcript, it will only show "elective" credit which is meaningless to a college admissions representative unless clarification is attached. CHAMPS is a perfect example of a program that appears on a student transcript that needs further clarification when they apply to colleges and universities other than Michigan State University.
Some of these experiences offered college credit, and Mr. Taylor advises that, if the student doesn't need the extra credit to fulfill graduation requirements, this not be considered to be added to their high school transcript. Some colleges and universities including Michigan State will not grant college credit if the course is also taken for high school credit.
