Applications must be received by April 30th for the Fall Semester and November 30th for the Spring Semester. All applications must be approved prior to implementing a credit flex program. There will be no retroactive awarding of credit.

The committee will provide to the student approved requirements for the earning of credit. The student must complete a Proposal for Credit Flexibility Application to participate in this option. A student may use the Flex Out option to retake Copley High School classes they did not pass in order to recover credits needed for graduation.
