A student must earn a minimum average grade that is the equivalent of 70 on a scale of 100 to pass a course and be awarded credit. Campuses that utilize the Precision Based Mastery Learning System require students to pass all Unit tests at 90% or higher for course credit.
The district typically awards credit for a full-credit high school course on a semester-by-semester basis. If a student passes one semester but fails the other semester, credit shall be awarded for the semester passed. However, the district reserves the right to average the two semesters of a full-year course and award credit for the entire course, with a passing grade, if and when deemed appropriate. The district’s individualized program has curriculum modules composed of five KnowledgeUnits® for ½ credit when completed and passed, 1 credit when ten KnowledgeUnits have been completed and passed. Eligibility for End-Of-Course assessments is determined by the completion of nine KnowledgeUnits—90% of the course. A student may not earn more than 10 credits in one year without administrative approval.
A student may not earn more than 2 credits during the summer school session.
