TEST OUT
NEW POLICY STARTING 2015
A student has the option of testing out of all courses offered at the high school. The tests will be administered prior to the first week of each semester. A student will be responsible to pass a comprehensive examination with a C+ (or 78%) or better; In addition the assessment used to determine a pupil’s mastery of the subject matter may include (but not limited to) written papers, projects, presentations, and/or other forms of authentic assessment.
Successful completion of the exam and assessment(s) will count toward graduation credits. Year-long classes require both 1st and 2nd semester exams with a combined score of C+ (78%) or better. The pupil will earn credit for the course, if the high school department minimum score is attained. No grade will be factored into the cumulative GPA. The credit will be listed on the pupil’s transcript as a tested out course. A pupil who earns credit under this section cannot later take a lower sequence course in the same subject area.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
Dual enrollment is a program which allows the students to take a class at local colleges or universities and receive credit from the college as well as from Genesee Academy. Students are eligible to dual enroll in classes if their GPA is 3.0 or above and after they get the approval from the counselor/principal. The classes that are eligible for dual enrollment should meet one of the following two guidelines:
- The College class is one that is not offered at Genesee Academy.
- The student must have exhausted a program of study by successfully completing the highest level offered at Genesee Academy in that discipline.
Approval from the principal is required for any dual enrollment classes
ONLINE COURSES
Students can take online courses for:
- Credit recovery/retake.
- Or, extra credits. In this case, the guidelines of the dual enrollment policy are applied.
Please contact the principal for assistance with online courses.
