CREDIT RECOVERY COURSES are available for high school students to retake a class previously taken but failed by the student. These credit recovery courses contain only the essential course content and can be completed in a very condensed time frame over the nine week program.  

CREDIT ACCELERATION COURSES are available for current high school students interested in taking a course for the first time for original course credit. These acceleration courses contain the full course content and require a greater time commitment from the student. The course(s) may require 2-4 hours per day and the full nine weeks for completion.

 

Please note, students may take no more than two courses through the Second Semester Credit Program. During the summer of 2023, another opportunity will be available to take additional credits through a similar credit recovery program and a credit acceleration program.
