New Policy: Numeric Grading for Credit Recovery Courses (Non-Electives) – Effective 2025–26
Beginning with the 2025–26 school year, public school units (PSUs) must assign a numeric grade for all credit recovery courses tied to non-elective graduation requirements.
The student’s existing Incomplete (Inc) or numeric failing course grade on their transcript must be factored into the numeric grade earned through credit recovery. This combined grade should reflect the percentage of the course completed through credit recovery, resulting in a final numeric grade. Once the credit recovery course is posted to the transcript, the original course grade will be suppressed.
This SBE policy (CCRE-001 - see 6.3) does not apply to elective courses and is intended to promote consistency and accuracy in GPA calculation and graduation reporting.
