the course.

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.
