Course Credit Information and Important Guidances
A semester class is worth 5 credits; a year class (two semesters) is worth 10 credits.
Failed courses (grade of F) earn no credit. Required classes that are failed must be repeated until they are passed. If a student fails a graduation requirement class, she/he must meet with her/his Counselor to plan for credit recovery in order to remediate the course to receive a River Islands High School Diploma. Classes in which a student earns a grade of a D will count towards graduation requirements but will not count for college eligibility.
Courses that are repeated earn credits only once unless noted in the course description.
For example: If a student earns a D in Integrated Math I and then repeats the course the next year earning a B, the D grade will remain on the permanent record but will earn no credits. The B grade will earn 5 credits and the higher grade will be used to calculate the total GPA. A minimum of a C grade is required for college eligibility.
