Collaborative Credit

Information regarding alternative credits, i.e., online instruction, collaborative credit, and summer school, may be obtained through the school’s Counseling Department. High school credit may be granted to students who satisfactorily complete college courses. Students must complete a collaborative credit form and secure permission from the administrator in charge of registration prior to taking the college course if they wish to receive high school credit. District Guidelines for specific collaborative credit information are:

1. In order for a student to receive credit at the high school, a school counselor and an administrator must sign the collaborative credit form prior to the start of this college class.
2. The following GPS core classes should be taken at the high school in order to receive the grade level academic standard instruction:
   1. all four English credits
   2. all first three Science credits
   3. all first four Math credits
   4. all three History and Social Sciences credits

Any of the above courses taken at any Community College or University are subject to prior review and approval by a school counselor and administrator on the high school campus.

3. Classes earning between three (3) and five (5) credit hours will receive one-half credit (.5) to be awarded toward graduation requirements.
4. GPS will not accept Community College or University classes as weighted grades.
5. Upon successful completion of the college class, it is the student’s responsibility to provide the high school Registrar with a copy of the Official Transcript.
