The Work-Based Learning Program awards eligible working students credit. Students must work a minimum of 100 hours during the semester, must be at least 16 years of age before the first day of the program, must maintain a C average with no class failures or incompletes, must be within school attendance guidelines, have no major discipline problems on file, and must be able to provide their own transportation. The Work-Based Learning Program will constitute a half year of study and will receive one-half credit. To receive credit for the Program, the student must complete the work as stated in the syllabus; no partial credit will be given. The Work-Based Learning Program is unleveled, and the grade is not included in determining a student’s GPA. In addition, the program does not replace any regularly scheduled required course. If a senior elects to take a half-year Work-Based Learning Program during the spring semester, the credit must be in addition to their 24 credits required for graduation. Detailed information on eligibility and application procedures is available in the School Counseling Department.
