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.
Credit By Assessment
Anoka-Hennepin students in grades 9-12 may earn course
credit and meet graduation requirements by successfully
demonstrating that they have met specific requirements of a
course without actually taking the course. Students who
have previously mastered the knowledge and skills in a district
course may demonstrate their mastery through a formal
High School Registration Guide
process following district procedures. This process is initiated
by students and first requires the completion of an application.
Students interested in pursuing Credit by Assessment can
request an application from their school counselor. Students
turn in the completed form to the guidance school counselor.
Students who are pursuing Credit by Assessment will be con-
tacted by a teacher who will manage this district assessment
process. Some students may wish to use College Level
Examination Program [CLEP] or Advanced Placement [AP]
to receive Credit by Assessment. These students are
encouraged to contact their school counselor or the talent
development teaching and learning specialist prior to pur-
suing the testing in order to make sure all questions are
answered. All students interested in pursuing Credit by
Assessment should begin the process at least a trimester
before the credit is required.
