1. What is Credit Recovery and why am I here? Credit recovery is essentially repeating a course that you have failed previously. Credit recovery is done using online courses, through software called e2020. Students will repeat required courses first, and if they are still shy the credits necessary to be on pace for graduation, will then move to elective courses. Your counselor will determine what course is best for you, in consultation with the student and Manager of Online Learning.
