If your final grade during the previous school year was between a 50-59 (for select courses), you may be eligible to take credit recovery through VirtualSC. Please check powerschool to view final grades to see if you qualify. If you are a student athlete planning to participate in your sport in college, we do NOT recommend credit recovery because it is not accepted by NCAA.

Courses: See the VirtualSC Course Guide on their website/Ask your counselor
(there is NO final exam for credit recovery courses)
Students who successfully complete their credit recovery course will receive a "P" for passing on your transcript. Attached are the directions on how to sign up and request a course through VirtualSC.
From the South Carolina Uniform Grading Policy on Retaking a Course:
Any student may retake a course at the same level of difficulty if the student has earned a D, P, NP, WP, FA, WF, or an F in that course. If the same level course is not accessible, the course may be retaken at a different level of rigor. Districts may extend the policy to allow students making any grade to retake any course per local board decision. A student who has taken a course for a unit of high school credit prior to the ninth grade year may retake the course at the same difficulty level regardless of the grade he or she has earned. Retaking the course means that the student completes the entire course again (not a subset of the course such as through credit or content recovery). If the course being retaken has an EOCEP, the EOCEP must be retaken. All course attempts from middle and high school will show on the transcript. Only one course attempt and the highest grade earned for the course will be calculated in the GPA. A student who retakes a high school credit course from middle school must complete it before South Carolina Uniform Grading Policy May 14, 2019 Page 9 the beginning of the second year of high school or before the next sequential course (whichever comes first). A student in grades nine through twelve must retake a course by the end of the next school year or before the next sequential course (whichever comes first). For all grade levels, all courses will remain on the transcript. However, only the highest grade will be used in figuring the student’s GPA.
