Credit Recovery• Credit Recovery – a class that is taken online or in

the classroom in which students work to earn credit for a class in which they previously failedo Cost: $25 per classo Passing Score: A student must score at least 80% (an A or B) on all unit tests in order to earn credit for the class.

o On your transcript, the recovered course will be recorded as a new course, with a new grade. Unfortunately, your original course grade will also remain on your transcript.

Credit Recovery• Explain how credit recovery works at your school

• It’s much easier to stay on-track from the beginningo If you’re already on-track, what do you need to continue doing to

stay on-track?

• It may be difficult, but it’s not too late to make a change and get back on-tracko If you are between 0 and 30 credits off-track, what will you do

differently this time in order to earn an A or B and recover these credits? What is your plan to help you stay on-track moving forward?

o If you are more than 30 credits off-track, you may want to consider a Multiple or Intensive Pathway school as an option to help support you in recovering credits and finding a PS readiness educational pathway that will lead you to graduation.
