Curriculum
Each student will be assigned computer-based tasks to be completed prior to a scheduled date and time within the current semester he/she is enrolled in Credit Recovery. Students are evaluated and credited when all course objectives have been met. Students are required to earn a grade of 70 or better in the course to show mastery and receive credit. Progress is monitored within the program so each student knows exactly how much he/she has done and how much remains.

THERE IS NO CARRYOVER OF COURSES FROM 1 SEMESTER TO THE NEXT OR FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR.
