CCBOE Credit Recovery Student Orientation

• graduate ON TIME!

What is Credit Recovery?

• An opportunity to recover 0.5 credit in a core
  area course that you have previously failed
• Classes are entirely on-line through GaVirtual
  School Credit Recovery.
• This allows you to demonstrate the knowledge you
  have and only work on the parts of the curriculum
  you have not mastered.

How does it work?www.gavirtualschool.org

• You will take a pre-test for each unit. THE
  PRETEST MUST BE TAKEN AT GHS! Your score dictates
  how much work is required for each unit.
• 85-100 Pretest Go straight to the posttest
• Below 85 Do all work, lessons,
  quizzes and then
• posttest
• You will take a post-test for each unit and pass
  it before attempting the next unit. THE POSTTEST
  MUST BE TAKEN AT GHS! You must complete and pass
  all units in addition to the final exam.
• Your final exam or EOCT will be 15 of your final
  grade. THE FINAL OR EOCT MUST BE TAKEN AT GHS!

Posttests

• Your grade average comes entirely from your
  posttests and final exam, not from your
  assignments and quizzes.
• You have up to three attempts to pass each
  posttest.
• If you pass the first time, do not try to retake
  and raise your score. The test will be different,
  and your score may drop. The last test taken is
  the grade that counts.
• If you fail a posttest three times, you will be
  locked out of continuing the course. Contact your
  Graduation Coach by e-mail for further
  instructions.

Proctoring and HELP

• A Graduation Coach will be available for test
• proctoring Monday through Thursday
• June 1- July 9 from 800 until 1000 at
  Greenbrier High School in Lab 307.
• July 10- 800 am- noon will be reserved for final
  exams. Students taking EOCTs will be provided
  information for their specific course.

IMPORTANT

• There is no teacher associated with your on-line
  class, only a facilitator to assist with
  technical issues and monitor course and student
  integrity.
• YOU must pace yourself. It is your responsibility
  to complete the course in the designated time
  frame.
• Share log-in information with your parent. It is
  your responsibility to monitor grades and share
  those grades with parents.
• If you choose to take any test at a location
  other than GHS, the score will be invalidated and
  you risk not receiving credit for the class.

  on-line class.
