What Is Credit Recovery?

Credit Recovery is a program for students who need to retake or finish high school courses to meet graduation requirements. It helps students earn back credits without waiting for the next semester or summer school.

According to the Institute of Education Sciences, "Credit recovery programs allow high school students to recover course credit for classes they previously failed. Students can complete these courses in school, online, or using a mix of both."

What Is Credit Enrichment?

Credit Enrichment is a feature that allows students to get ahead in their high school courses or explore new subjects beyond their regular classes. Students can take extra classes to strengthen skills, improve their GPA, or prepare for college and career goals.
