If a student is taking a course for original credit can they also participate in credit recovery or an enrichment course?
Courses for credit are very time consuming. We do not recommend students that are taking for credit courses to enroll in additional courses.
However, if the meeting times do not conflict students may take an additional enrichment course.
Taking a credit recovery course will be considered on a case by case basis.
