A student who desires to receive credit for a high school course without enrolling in the course may do so by attaining a grade of not less than a C+ for the final exam and/or other comprehensive paper, portfolio, presentation, project, or assessment in the course. Credit will not be granted, however, for a course in a subject area lower in course sequence than one for which the student has already earned credit.

Successfully attained credit under this policy will earn a grade of "pass" and shall not be used in computations of grade point average nor counted toward the total required credits for graduation. Credit may be used to fulfill prerequisites for other courses and/or subject area credit requirements for graduation.

The high school principal shall establish rules for implementing this policy in cooperation with the Superintendent, and shall be responsible for ensuring that all high school courses include one or more appropriate comprehensive exam(s) or other assessment.
