A student who had previously taken a course—but did not receive credit for it—may be permitted to earn credit by passing an exam on the essential knowledge and skills defined for that course. Prior instruction may include, for example, incomplete coursework due to a failed course or excessive absences, a non-accredited public or private school, correspondence courses, or independent study supervised by a teacher. The Campus Director must approve the student’s eligibility to take an exam. If approval is granted, the student must score at least 70 on the exam to receive credit for the course. Testing may be administered at any time throughout the school year and no district application is required.
