Credit Rescue is ongoing throughout the semester by the classroom teache and/or Student Success Teacher. It offers students additional opportunities to complete work that has not been completed to date. When there is a significant chance that a student may not earn their credit, due to a lack of assignment completion or poor results in a few areas, schools may adopt a Credit Rescue model versus waiting for Credit Recovery. The Credit Rescue model may involve withdrawal/extra support in order to complete classroom work and thereby ensure credit accumulation.
We believe "Complete, Not Repeat"
Credit Recovery is available to students who have been unsuccessful in achieving the expectations of a course. A credit (or credits) for a course must be recovered within two years from the time the student fails the course. Students may work on recovering more than one credit concurrently through the credit recovery process, and there is no limit on the number of credits a student may recover or no minimum grade requirement in the original course for eligibility for credit recovery.
Students may only recover the credit of the actual course failed, they may not use credit recovery to earn credit for a course of a different type, grade, or level in the same subject or for a course that they have neither taken nor failed. For example, a student who fails MPM1D can only recover MPM1D and is not eligible to recover MFM1P.
Credit Recovery focuses not on time, but on what overall expectations the student must attain before earning the credit.
