If you fail a core class, then you must make it up by completing the term again as CREDIT RECOVERY. Credit Recovery is a shorter version of the same class and earns a student a P grade plus the lost credit. Each term of credit recovery is equal to 0.25 credit in the subject.

• Example: John B failed English Term 4 in 10th grade. He has passed all other classes. John B has to make up Term 4 English 10 through Credit Recovery in order to graduate.
• Once he completes credit recovery, there will be an entry on his Transcript showing CR English 10 T4, P as his grade, and now he's earned the missing 0.25 English credits.

Any class that is either a core subject (English, Math, Science, etc.) or is a specific class students must take and pass. Here are some examples:

• English
• Science
• Math
• Social Studies (World History, US History, etc.)
• Fit for Life
• Financial Literacy
• Health
• Engineering classes count as CORE at NUAMES

Most of the time, you don't have to make up an elective class unless you've failed too many of them.

• Example: Cleo failed Drawing. Since she can take a different art class and earn additional Fine Arts credit, she probably won't have to make up the class.
• Cleo may have to make up a Fine Arts class through credit recovery if she failed every art class she's ever taken in high school and is now in her senior year and can't fit all leftover credits in her schedule.

Students are NOT allowed to retake a CE class. If you failed a CE class, you will need to retake that class once you are in college AFTER graduation.

• Note: This can affect your eligibility for Financial Aid if your GPA from CE or Early College classes is below the college's requirements for Financial Aid.
• This is why it's SO important to ALWAYS do everything you can to pass your CE classes!

1. Utah Online School: Students pay $50/session (usually 7+ weeks) & then complete as many credit recovery terms as they can in that session. We like this option because it's economical AND students can sometimes cancel out work by doing well on unit tests.
2. Northridge Learning Center: Private school that sells PAPER PACKETS for Credit Recovery. Each 0.25 (Term) credit = $50 (Other fees may apply, such as Retest Fee, Extension Fee, etc.) Students complete the packet by the deadline and then take a PROCTORED FINAL EXAM. This can get expensive if a student has multiple terms to make up.
3. There are other Credit Recovery providers (ex. BYU Independent Study). Just make sure to use an ACCREDITED PROGRAM.

If you are interested in Credit Recovery with Utah Online School, see your Counselor!

We have a contract with them and can help get you registered.

You will not graduate because you'll be missing credits required for graduation.

• All Credit Recovery is due by May 1st of SENIOR YEAR
• Students who have not completed all credit recovery will not participate in Graduation Ceremonies
• Students can continue to work until Sep of their 12th grade year and can pick up their diploma once these are completed.
• If students don't complete all credit recovery by September, they must finish their diploma through Adult Education

Don't Delay in Working on Credit Recovery!! See your Counselor if you need a PLAN!

• You can see a U in the Citizenship column on your Report Card.
• You can also see if you have any to make up by looking at your very last report card.
• There's a box at the bottom right that says "Citizenship Credit To Be Made Up."
• Any number greater than 0 means you have at least one U to clear.
• One U = .25 to make up, 2 U's = 0.50, and so on.
