Earning Credits

At the ALC, students earn credits by completing assigned coursework and required seat hours.

Students may earn a ½ credit by completing assigned coursework and accruing 25 hours of seat time.
Students may earn 1 credit by completing assigned coursework and accruing 50 hours of seat time.
Credits (½ or Full) will be awarded at the end of each semester and accrued hours will reset to zero at the start of the new semester. (e.g. If you earn 80 hours and complete 1.5 credits the five hours left over will not carry over to the next semester)

Academic Achievement

The number of credits each student needs will vary, and are dependent on what they have earned previously, as well as on yearly grade level/graduation requirements.

Students must earn 80% or higher on assigned coursework to receive credit. If an assignment is under 80%, it will be returned to the student for the opportunity to correct errors and then may be resubmitted, and the score will be adjusted to reflect corrections made.
Students must complete assigned coursework and accrue seat hours to earn credit(s).
The number of credits earned per year will be awarded by Julia Gray, ALC Coordinator, determined by successful completion of coursework and accrual of seat hours.

Seat Hour Accrual

Students may accrue seat hours between the hours of 8:15a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on school days according to the Onamia Public Schools School Calendar (see below). Upon approval by Julia, additional hours may be accrued before or after regular school hours. On occasion, the ALC may be closed, either half or whole day, as determined by administration.

Seat hours will accrue when students are actively working on coursework.
30 minutes a day are set-aside for lunch, students will not accrue seat hours during lunch.
Seat hours will not accrue when students are sleeping, sitting without coursework, or are observed to be engaged in any activity not related to assigned coursework.
