WHAT HAPPENS IF I FAIL A COURSE?• You don’t earn credit for
the course.
• Even if you re-take a course you will always see the original course and grade on your transcripts (exception of credit recovery).
Shows the credit attempt and no credit earned.
* PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT APPLICATIONS TO WEST-MEC, MET, COLLEGES, SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER APPLICATIONS LOOK AT YOUR GPA FOR ELIGIBILITY.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I RE-TAKE A COURSE FOR A BETTER GRADE?
If you re-take a course that we do not require you to re-take:
• You will only earn 1 credit for both courses.
• It will use the highest grade in your GPA calculation.
• BE CAFEFUL – Scholarships may limit the number of retakes allowed.
CREDIT RECOVERY MAY BE AN OPTION FOR A FAILED COURSE.
• Credit recovery may be an option to recover a credit for select core courses over the summer.
• Credit recovery will only change the grade on your transcript to the course’s passing grade. So the original F or D will only change to a C or D.
• Check with your guidance counselor if you need credit recovery.
