The pupil can recover the credit by satisfying requirements for the course in which they were unsuccessful and can focus on earning credit based on competency in the content standards for that particular course. Credit recovery programs aim to help schools graduate more pupils by giving pupils who have fallen behind the chance to recover credits through a multitude of different strategies. Different programs allow pupils to work on their credit recovery classes over the summer, on school breaks, after school, on weekends, at home on their own, at night in school computer labs, online, or even during the schoolday.Amended by Stats 2019 ch 451 (AB 1097),s 1, eff. 1/1/2020.Amended by Stats 2014 ch 837 (SB 1111),s 4, eff. 1/1/2015.
