Provisions for Granting Credit

St. Lawrence Seminary has elected the Carnegie Unit as its ordinary means for granting credit. According to national norms, a Carnegie Unit is the amount of credit given for the successful completion of a course that meets 40 minutes daily, five days per week, for at least 36 weeks, or the equivalent amount of time within the school year. The equivalent time is 120 clock hours.

The seminary does not offer summer school courses for credit. It does accept summer school credits earned in some other accredited high school, provided that these are not courses specifically required for seminary graduation, and that permission of the Academic Dean has been obtained in writing before enrolling in any other school for a course that is being transferred into St Lawrence Seminary.
