Student/Parent Handbook

To qualify for automatic college admission, the student must submit an application
before any application-filing deadline established by the institution. After
admission, an institution shall review the applicant's record and identify any other
factor the institution considers appropriate to determine whether the applicant may
require additional preparation for college-level work or would benefit from
inclusion in a retention program.
The institution may require a student who has been identified as needing additional
instruction to enroll during the summer immediately after the student is admitted to
participate in appropriate enrichment courses and orientation programs. A student who
has not been identified as needing additional preparation for college-level work may
enroll, if the student chooses, during the summer immediately after the student is
admitted.
Transcript Requests (FDA Local)
Under the guidelines of the Texas Open Records Act, high school transcript requests
must be submitted in writing to Flour Bluff Independent School District. High School
students may request up to five transcripts at no charge during their high school career.
After receiving five free transcripts, there will be a $1.00 charge for additional transcripts
until the student graduates from high school. After graduation, Flour Bluff graduates
may request official transcripts for $2.00 each. After a student reaches 18 years of age,
transcript requests must be submitted by the student or by higher learning institutions or
agencies listed under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.
Transfer Students (FDA Local) (EIC Local)
Out of state transfer students and transfer students from Texas non-public schools shall
complete all state graduation requirements to be eligible for a Texas diploma.
Resident students who complete their junior year at Flour Bluff High School and become
non-residents may continue to attend tuition-free until graduation but must submit a
transfer application.
Students who transfer high school credits for courses designated as Advanced
Placement, Pre-Advanced Placement, Dual Credit or Advanced Credit from accredited
institutions shall receive weighted credits counted toward the GPA as approved by the
Flour Bluff ISD Board of Trustees. The Board-approved weighted courses are
provided annually in the District‘s High School Graduation and Career Planning
Guide. Grades from non-credited non-public schools, including home-schools, shall not
be used in determining class rank, grade point average, or academic average.
Students/parents are required to provide proof of accreditation status for
institutions providing high school level instruction, other than public schools, at
the time of enrollment in the District.
