Credit Recovery Credit recovery is generally offered, on a case-by-case basis, to certain students entering at least their third year of high school. This program allows students an opportunity earn credit( s) by completing courses via an online platform, taught by certified teachers, who teach the lessons through video and engaging activities. Most students working on credit recovery will be scheduled into the“ CR Lab” during 1 or more of their 8 scheduled classes.
Credit Recovery Guidelines
• Students may only take a credit recovery course after attempting the course for the entire duration at least one time and not earning credit. o Students who do not earn credit in a Semester 2 or yearlong course may not start credit recovery until the following school year or during summer programming, if offered.
• Students will be graded based on their scores on activities, labs, quizzes, and assessments in the platform.
• Students who have already failed the course will have both the failed grade and the credit recovery grade included on the transcript. Both grades will be factored into the student’ s career GPA.
• Students who are enrolled in a credit recovery course will only receive a final grade( they will not receive marking term grades). a. If completed over the summer, then the grade will be included on the prior school year’ s report card. This will be factored into the student’ s prior year GPA and career GPA. b. If completed during the school year, then the grade will be included on that school year’ s report card, and will be factored into the student’ s year and career GPA.( Again, this grade will not impact marking term GPA)
• Students planning on participating in college athletics at the D1 or D2 level must share this information with their CR Lab teacher and school counselor, to ensure courses taken in the Credit Recovery Lab are approved by the NCAA Clearing House.
