Credit Recovery:

1. Opportunity for students who originally received a failing grade (F grade) in a course for grades 9-12.
2. Students must finish the portion of the course that was not completed until a passing grade is reached (minimum of 60%).
(For Example: If a student earned 40% in the original course, they must complete an additional 20% to reach the minimum 60% passing requirement).
3. Once the student has completed the required assignments, the graduation credit will be added to the student's transcript. This puts the student back on track for high school graduation.
4. The original "F" grade on the transcript will not be adjusted, meaning the student's GPA sees no change, even after credit recovery has been completed.

Credit Replacement:

1. Opportunity for students who would like to replace a grade in a course for grades 7-12.
2. Students must retake the entire term(s) of the course for which they are trying to replace a grade.
3. Once the student has completed the course, the student's transcript will be updated to show the highest grade earned. The class will only show on the transcript one time.
(Note: If a student in grades 9-12 failed the original course (F grade), their graduation credit will be restored to their transcript in addition to the grade update).
4. The student's GPA will be adjusted accordingly.
