So now what?
- Credit recovery is an opportunity for you to recover a required course that you have not earned credit (failure of the course).
- Successfully completing credit recovery will help ensure that you stay on track toward graduation. It is important that you start credit recovery once your counselor has talked to you about it and you are signed up.
- There is not a limit to how many credit recovery courses you can earn.
- Once you have completed you CRx, you do not attend anymore.
- Our credit recovery program allows you to pretest on each unit. If you pass the pretest on a unit (60% or better), you move on to the next unit pretest. If you do not pass the pretest, the program will assign lessons based on the results of your pretest. Always try your best on the pretest and show us what you already know. However, there are times when completing unit assignments is important to your learning.
