Grade Replacement

Students may opt to retake courses for the purpose of improving a previously earned grade of C+ or lower, or to recover an Incomplete grade for which a Learning Extension is not possible. 

Students re-enroll in a course within the same course family.

Grades will be recorded as follows:

• If the retake course grade is higher than the original course grade, the original course remains on the transcript with an R (“replacement”) grade.
• If the retake course grade is the same as the original course grade, the original course remains on the transcript with an AU (“audit”) grade.
• If the retake course grade is lower than the original course grade, the retake course grade is added to the transcript with an AU (“audit”) grade.

Learning Retakes and Course Families

Once a student successfully completes a course within a course family, they may not earn additional credit from courses within the family. If a student's grade for a given experience qualifies for a replacement grade, they may replace that grade by enrolling in a course within the course family. However, the replacement course operates under the replacement grade policy and the student will not earn credit for the original experience and replacement grade experience. The student can also audit a course as described above.

Learning Retakes and External Credit

Students are permitted to retake courses taken as external credit. In these cases, the retake rules as described above apply, as well as the rules concerning external credit as described in policy 6-310 High School Credit for Non-District Experiences; Course Substitutions; Re-Entering Students.
