This is a one period semester course used administratively by counselors and industrial arts teachers to grant credit to a student who transfers into the Grossmont District from a school outside the District. When a student has been taking a course in progress at the previous school and that course does not "match" courses offered in our district, the student will be placed in the Grossmont District course which most closely matches his/her previous course. The student may thereby be saved the credit without the Grossmont School actually granting credit for a particular subject course. Elective credit is granted.

Same as Transfer Course, Industrial Arts 1 and is to be used in rare instances when another semester is needed to meet a particular student's requirement.
