CREDIT EXPLORATION

Red Lion Area Senior High School has implemented a credit exploration option, also known as auditing, in an effort to encourage students to take classes of interest without having these classes negatively impact their Weighted Grade Point Average, which is used to calculate class rank.  Students are only permitted to apply for two exploration credits – one their junior year and one their senior year. A student’s final grade for an exploration course will still factor into his/her Unweighted GPA.  The grade and credit for the exploration course will still be reflected on the student’s report card and transcript.

Any student interested in utilizing credit exploration should pick up an application with additional information in the School Counseling Office.  The application must be signed by the student, parent, and school counselor.  Upon receipt of the application, a conference will be scheduled.  The grade and credit for the exploration course will still be reflected on the student’s report card and transcript.  

Credit Exploration may only be used for courses fulfilling the “electives” graduation requirement with the approval from the counseling department chair and administration.

 The Credit Exploration form is available in the School Counseling Office, and must be submitted no later than the first five (5) days from the start of the class.
