Check your GPA and ACT scores and compare with the college index. Schedule to re-take the ACT if you would like to improve your scores.
Overcoming the ACT Test Obstacle • If you still aren’t happy with your score(s), • Study for and schedule to re-take the ACT test • Continue working on improving your GPA to help increase your total Index Score • If your scores don’t meet the college ready benchmark, • Study for and schedule to re-take the Accuplacer test on a college campus as an alternative way to meet the college ready benchmark. • OR, make sure you’ve taken and passed the Dev. Ed. Course equivalent with a C- or higher to show the college that you are ready for college level coursework, without remediation. You can get into college without these scores/courses but you will start by taking remedial course (not college level), which means you will not receive financial aid for those courses or any college credit toward graduation)

Credit Recovery • Credit Recovery – a class that is taken online or in the classroom in which students work to earn credit for a class in which they previously failed • Cost: $25 per class • Passing Score: A student must score at least 80% (an A or B) on all unit tests in order to earn credit for the class. • On your transcript, the recovered course will be recorded as a new course, with a new grade. Unfortunately, your original course grade will also remain on your transcript.
Credit Recovery • What will you do differently this time in order to earn an A or B and recover these credits? What is your plan to help you stay on-track moving forward? • If you are more than 30 credits off-track, you may want to consider a Multiple or Intensive Pathway school as an option to help support you in recovering credits and finding a PS readiness educational pathway that will lead you to graduation.
