    follow all of the steps below
  • Speak with your alpha-counselor PRIOR to
    registering for an off-campus course to determine
    if the course will meet grad requirements and if
    adding the course to your transcript will benefit
    you.
  • Submit an OFF-CAMPUS PERMISSION FORM and obtain
    all signatures (student, counselor, registrar,
    and parent).
  • Once you have completed the course, it is YOUR
    responsibility to have an official transcript
    sent to the CCA Registrar from the institution
    where you took the course.
