CREDIT RECOVERY
Option 1: The final grade may be based solely on the student’s performance in the credit recovery program.
Option 2: Where the credit recovery term has determined that the results of previous evaluation will be recognized towards credit recovery, the final grade may be determined by merging the percentage marks that the student received for the successful achievement of course expectations in the original course (as provided by the subject teacher and evidenced on the credit recovery profile) and the percentage marks determined through evaluation conducted during the credit recovery program.
Thirty per cent of the grade will be based on a final evaluation administered at or towards the end of the course. This evaluation will be based on evidence from one or a combination of the following: an examination, a performance, an essay, and/or another method of evaluation suitable to the course content, consistent with the evaluation policy outlined in Chapter 5 of the present document. The final evaluation allows the student an opportunity to demonstrate comprehensive achievement of the overall expectations for the course.
A student who does not meet the expectations outlined in his or her credit recovery learning plan may fail in the attempt to recover a credit. This failing grade is reported on the transcript for Grade 11 and 12 courses each time the student attempts a course, unless the student withdraws prior to the completion or submission of the culminating activity.
CONTEXT
The Ontario Student Success Commission identified credit recovery as an essential option for students who fail one or more credits. It is important that boards ensure delivery of a high-quality credit recovery experience to each student who participates in the program.
