Types of Credit

Regular Education (RE)

Taking a new course or retaking the same course to improve a grade.

The majority of classes are considered regular education classes because they are basic in nature and meet state requirements for graduation.  Regular courses are given letter grades unless NWLS receives a written request within 10 business days of the start of the course to be graded on a pass/fail basis.

Credit Recovery (CR)

Making up a failed course.

If a student fails a class, he or she is eligible for a credit recovery class, which is graded on a pass/fail and does not affect the student’s GPA.  Students must earn at least 70% and complete all tests to successfully complete the course.  Please note that credit recovery is different from replacing the grade on your transcript with a different grade. In order to replace the grade, the student must retake the same class at the same level.

Advanced Placement (AP)

 If you are still unsure of what you need, please contact us or talk to your counselor at your school.
