Credit Recovery vs. Original Credit
Credit Recovery Programs are designed to help students regain lost credits and stay on track for graduation, offering flexible online courses tailored to individual needs. Credit Recovery Programs Credit recovery programs are essential for students who need to retake courses or earn credits they missed. Credit Recovery is for students who have failed a course during the regular high school year.
Original Credit allows students to take courses that they have never taken before for credit.
