Credit Deficiency

At some point in a students high school career, it may be necessary to take additional courses to make up for lost credit.  There are a few different options for making up credit, which include:

• Correspondence Classes - these are courses taken through the mail. You must have Counselor approval to take Correspondence Classes. See your counselor for more information.
• Summer School - summer school is offered through several local districts.  See your counselor for more information.
• Night School - night school classes are offered through Lincoln Park. You must be 16 to be eligible for night school. See your counselor for more information.

We encourage any student who is credit deficient to contact his/her counselor immediately to arrange the best option for making up credits.
