Course Transfers
Requests for transfers from one course to another or to another start date must be made in writing and either e-mailed or mailed to GLL. There will be a $25 fee to enact any of the following changes. This fee is not applicable to students who are not accepted for their requested start date due to lack of documentation supporting their application or to students who apply too late to be accepted for their requested start date.
Enrichment and Core Essentials Courses: Requests for a transfer to another course within the same term must be made no later than one week after the beginning of the course session and made with the understanding that it is the student's responsibility to catch up in the new course. No course extensions will be granted for enrichment courses. If a student wishes to transfer to the next session (fall, winter or spring), this request must be made before two weeks have elapsed from the start date of the course.
Credit-Bearing Courses: Requests to postpone a start date or to change to a different course must be made prior to the 21st day of instruction. When postponing the start date, the student and the instructor are to confer and reach an agreement as to which month the student will re-start the course and what, if any, previous assignments will need to be re-submitted. Students who wish to change their course must meet the prerequisites for the new course and indicate in which month they wish to start. They also must apply for the new course. Note: Once a course transfer is made, refunds will not be given.
Course Extensions
Students taking one-credit honors elective courses have up to 18 weeks to complete their coursework. Students enrolled in two-credit honors and AP courses have up to nine months from their official start date (the 15th of the month) to complete their course(s). Requests for extensions are granted on an individual basis with the approval of the instructor and the Gifted LearningLinks staff. These requests must be written and submitted to GLL via e-mail or USPS mail.
A $75 fee is assessed for each month of an extension. The maximum allowable extension for a course is three consecutive months beyond the end date. Course extensions are not available for family or enrichment courses, nor for extracurricular clubs. For EPGY, please read "Course Continuation".
Accelerated Summer Option (ASO) Course Transfers
Students participating in an ASO course who are unable to complete their coursework in nine-weeks may revert to the 18-week or nine-month option, respectively with the approval of the instructor and GLL staff.
