Making up courses that have been failed: Whenever a student fails a required course, the course must be made up or retaken as soon as possible. Whenever a student fails an elective course, the
particular course failed need not be made up or retaken; however, the student must be sure he or she will have enough credits to graduate. The best procedure to follow whenever a course is failed in each and every situation is for the student to visit with the counselor. No credit is given for courses failed.
Duplicating Courses: In most cases when a course is successfully completed it may not be retaken for credit. There are exceptions and you should review each course description. Written permission from the principal and teacher is required to duplicate any course and it should be a part of the student’s 4-year plan.
