Credit Recovery/Extension

Registration for all summer courses have closed! Credit Recovery for Semester B will remain open until June 16th.

Credit Recovery (retake a course) provides an opportunity for students to avoid failure and earn academic credit. A wide variety of educational strategies will be used to recover the learning objectives in courses that are graduation requirements.

Extension (improve your grade) provides an opportunity for a student to extend a portion of a course that they have already passed to possibly raise their grade.

Students may register for up to 3 credit recovery/extenstion courses per semester.

Courses will meet by subject area in the designated times listed in the table below.
