| At Delaware City Schools, students have the opportunity to take coursework virtually as part of credit flexibility. The procedure for completion of virtual learning coursework is outlined below. 1. In order to take advantage of this option, please complete the Application for Virtual Learning. Coursework through external vendors, other than TRECA Digital Academy and APEX, must be pre-approved by the Delaware City Schools Credtit Flex Committee. All course vendors must be accredited institutions. a. Students have the option of accepting the grade for high school credit. These grades are reflected on high school transcripts and impact class rank.
b. Weights, grading, and Carnegie Unit scales will be the same as if the student attended the course. Course credits and weights are listed annually in the Course Description Handbook. Students can also receive credits for AP course tests in this manner. c. The grading scale of AP tests shall be as follows: A score of 5 on the AP test will receive a weighted “A.” A score of 4 on the AP test will receive a weighted “B.” A score of 3 will receive a “C.” Students may take this as a Pass/Fail option, as well. *Please note that some colleges and the NCAA Eligibility Center do not accept "P" grades for admission or eligibility. Students must notify the AP coordinator by the AP exam ordering deadline in order to participate in this option. d. Students have a Pass/Fail option, meaning they can take the test for a grade of “P” only. This will not affect their grade point average or class rank. Students will not receive an “F” on the transcript if they fail nor will they receive course credit. Click here for the Virtual Learning Application |
