Credit Courses

Any student who wishes to receive credit for a Summer Academy course should contact the Summer Academy office and request that a transcript be sent to their school. Please be aware that the decision to award credit is made by the school which the student attends during the regular school year.
 
Successful completion of a credit course allows a Hamden Hall student to advance to the next level of the course in September. It does not reduce the number of courses to be taken that year. 
 
* Departmental permission is required prior to registration.
*Eligible Hamden Hall students may also take selected courses for credit.
