CREDIT RECOVERY

The goal of the credit recovery is to give high school students the opportunity to graduate in a timely manner.  This program allows students who have failed core courses (courses required for graduation) a chance to make-up non-mastered standards without repeating the entire course. The credit recovery program is conducted using Edgenuity or Georgia Credit recovery (http://www.gacreditrecovery.org/), which is a module-based online learning system. The online system does not require a teacher but is managed by a facilitator.  Since the credit recovery program will be offered in an online learning environment, participants in the credit recovery program should be self-motivated and independent learners who exhibit a strong personal commitment towards earning credit in an online environment. There is a cost associated with credit recovery courses.

Requirements for Program

  1. Grade of 60-69 in the course in which attempting to recover credit or principals written approval.
  2. Only two credits may be recovered per semester (unless more is approved by the principal).
  3. The parent/guardian and student must participate in an interview with the counselor in order to review the program goals and requirements.
  4. Early dismissal from Credit recovery is not allowed.  Disruptive behaviors, and/or abuse of technology privileges will result in removal from Credit recovery.
  5. If the course requires an EOC, the student must retake the test at the end of the course. 
  6. Transportation (if applicable) will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian.
  7. All assessments must be taken in the presence of the facilitator. 

 

Awarding Credits

1. Recovered credit will only be awarded when students have completed all work satisfactorily.

2. Recovered credit will be entered on the transcript as repeat attempts and will not replace the previously earned grade.  Both the original and the Credit recovery grade will be included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should see the school counselor of more information regarding credit recovery.
