Academic Probation
If students are short credits that would prohibit them from participating in after-school activities, they should check with their activities office to see if they qualify for academic probation.
Awarding Credit By Assessment Intent and Purpose
In accordance with state statute, the Anoka-Hennepin School District provides a process through which Credit by Assessment, or testing out of a course, is an option available for students who wish to fulfill graduation requirements for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the school setting. This option aligns with the district’ s mission to provide learning opportunities that meet the individual learning needs of each student.
Policy
Anoka-Hennepin students in grades 9-12 may earn high school course credit by successfully demonstrating proficiency of the standards in courses offered by the district. Students who have the knowledge presented in a district course from information acquired through activities outside of school may demonstrate their mastery through a formal process of credit by assessment that may include College Level Examination Program( CLEP), Advanced Placement( AP) assessment, district course assessment( s), or other district approved assessments. Credit by Assessment applicants may request the course syllabus and materials list, as well as review the course textbook prior to the start of any Credit by Assessment process.
Student Responsibility
A student interested in earning credit by assessment will follow the procedures outlined in the guidelines for awarding credit by assessment. The student will work through the requirements of the Credit by Assessment process with the appropriate school and district personnel.
If the student demonstrates proficiency in a satisfactory manner, the student’ s transcript will show the course title, credit earned, and a course grade of“ P”, therefore, a grade is not applied to the student’ s district calculated GPA. The number of credits earned will be equal to the number of credits assigned to the course.
New Requirement: Personal Finance
The graduating class of 2028 and beyond are required to complete one personal finance course during their 10-12 grade years according to Minnesota Statute 120B. 023. Personal Money Management fulfills this requirement for students( see page 36). Personal finance education equips and empowers all Minnesota students to make informed financial decisions in an evolving world with an intentional focus on each student’ s individual experiences, culture, values, and goals.
