Such options may include, but not be limited to, tutorial programs, independent study, correspondence courses, educational travel, mentorship programs, summer school, early college entrance, internet, digital broadcasting, or satellite course work offered by the school or any regionally accredited college or Michigan Virtual High School.

Credit may be granted to the student upon complete evaluation of the program.

The credit shall be placed on the student's transcript. The amount of credit counting toward graduation shall comply with the District graduation requirements.

The Superintendent shall establish administrative guidelines whereby each educational option is properly analyzed, planned, and implemented and complies with all applicable requirements of the State.
