Credit Recovery
Register for Credit Recovery
Edmentum online courses are available at the St. Croix Area Learning Center and Stillwater Area High School through Credit Recovery (CR) to any student in grades 9-12 who need additional support.
Credit Recovery
A second chance toward graduation
Credit Recovery gives students in grades 9-12 the opportunity to recover failed credits while accessing online curriculum and accompanied by licensed teaching staff.
Students interested in recovering credits they have failed to master in the traditional classroom sign up for classes offered throughout the year using Apex, an online resource tool that allows students to work independent of school yet in tandem with licensed teachers who help guide their 9-12 path.
- Allows students to maintain status and graduate with class
- Pass/No Pass grading
- Courses offered are for recovery only, not for original credit
Students who have failed a class during the school year should work with their counselor to register for Credit Recovery to make up a required credit.
Check with your counselor for more information.
