The purpose of the Credit Recovery initiative, as presented by the GaDOE through Georgia Virtual Learning, is to provide online course access to Georgia students for the purpose of earning credit for a course that a student has not been academically successful.  The coursework provided by Georgia Virtual Credit Recovery is designed to target gaps in student learning to help students get back on track for graduation.

Credit Recovery is not accepted by NCAA.

Students must have taken the course previously and scored between 50% and 69% for a final grade.

Cost

The program is offered at no charge to Georgia public high schools who choose to participate. While all first time enrollments are free of charge for all Georgia public high school students, there is a $25 re-enrollment fee for any public school student who needs to be enrolled into the same credit recovery course more than one time. 

The Georgia Credit Recovery Program provides online (web-based) access and instruction to Georgia students registered for a Credit Recovery course. 

1.       Students take a pretest at the beginning of each unit. If that score is 85% or higher, the student is allowed to proceed directly to that unit’s posttest.

2.       If the pretest score is less than 85%, the student must view every content item in the unit. When all items have been completed, the post-test will be available to the student.

3.       In order to move out of one unit into the next, the student must score a 70% or higher on the unit posttest.

4.       Only unit posttests/final exams/EOC assessments are recorded in the final grade. Students must complete the entire course and the final exam or EOC to receive credit for the course.

1. Students must log in within ten days of enrollment.

2. If the course requires an EOC exam, students must take the exam at the end of the credit recovery course. This test will be scheduled through the testing coordinator at GOC and will be proctored on campus.
