Alternative Credit Options
In addition to regular classroom-based instruction, students may earn credit through virtual/online courses.
High school students may earn a maximum of eight (8) units of credit to be applied toward graduation requirements by completing online courses. A maximum of two (2) units of credit may be earned during any one (1) school semester. Students who have dropped out of school, require special health considerations, or cannot graduate with their cohort group, may take additional online courses through a pre-approved online course provider, with permission of the principal/designee.
Credit for an online or virtual course may be earned only in the following circumstances:
| A. | The course is not offered through the high school. | |
| B. | Although the course is offered at the high school, the student is unable to take it due to scheduling conflicts. | |
| C. | The course will serve as a supplement to summer school and extended homebound instruction. | |
| D. | The student has been compelled from the regular high school setting, but educational services are to be continued. | |
| E. | The Principal, with the agreement of the student and his/her parent(s) determined that the student requires a differentiated or accelerated learning environment. | |
| F. | The student has dropped out and cannot return to high school, as verified by the Alternative Education Supervisor, Principal/Designee. Credits earned will apply for a diploma from Mohegan High School. | |
| G. | Students taking such courses must be enrolled in the District. |
The express approval of the Principal/Designee shall be obtained before a student enrolls in a virtual/online course for credit. Each virtual/online student approved for such study shall be assigned a mentor teacher responsible for supervision and monitoring. The school must receive an official record of the final grade before credit toward graduation will be granted. Completion of any virtual/online course offering must not exceed twelve (1) months from the beginning date of the course.
