Credit Recovery is a strategy that allows students who have previously failed a course required for high school graduation to retake the course in an alternate setting in hopes of successfully meeting course requirements. Credit recovery courses may be available online or in alternative settings and can be scheduled at different times to suit the needs of the student.
Note: Although the student is able to earn the failed credit, the grade earned in a credit recovery program does not replace the "F" on the high school transcript.
