E2020 CREDIT RECOVERY
Course Syllabus
DESCRIPTION:
E2020 Credit Recovery is a program designed to allow students to fulfill graduation requirements through a computer-based,
teacher-directed program aligned with state and county curriculum. Failure to follow the course guidelines or proper behavior
standards may result in removal from the course.
TIME REQUIREMENTS:
Students have only 85 school days (equivalent to one semester) to complete per credit. If the student is not completing their
coursework in a timely manner, he/she may be removed from the program and their relative grade will be recorded on the student’s
transcript. The relative grade will most likely impede successful recovery of course credit.
SUPPLIES: Required Notebook One spiral for each course (following directions, proper notes on vocabulary, lectures, labs and
online content). Headphones are available for use but students are encouraged to use their own.
WORKING FROM HOME:
In addition students are STRONGLY encouraged to work from home.

CURRICULUM & GRADING:
Each student will be assigned computer-based coursework to be completed by the course target completion date, which will be 85
school days following their assigned start date (one semester). Course start and completion target dates will be assigned by the
E2020 teacher and may not be extended beyond the 18 week/85 school day period for any reason. Students are expected to attend
every class session and may not use an absence as grounds for extending their target completion date.
Students are evaluated and credited when all course objectives have been met. All unfinished assignments at the students 85
school day course completion date will be assigned the relative grade (overall grade including zeros for incomplete assignments)
for their final grade. If anything less than a passing grade is earned, the student will need to re-take the course.
Students will recover their course credit with 70% mastery of the course performance standards. Their final grade for the recovered
class will be determined by:
The total grade must average to 70% or higher for a student to earn the credit for the recovered class. Final course grades that fall
below a 70% will not receive a credit and the course must be taken again. Students must complete a new application for every 90
day course assignment with their counselor. Failure of an E2020 course does not automatically qualify a student for seat in the next
class.
JOURNAL/NOTEBOOK PROCEDURES:
Notebook pages dated and/or numbered with lesson headings!
Proper note-taking exhibited during all lessons
Time management skills (use of class time from beginning to end)
Failure to comply with these notebook requirements will disqualify the student from test checks or retakes. If this happens, the
student will be required to return to missed work and/or lectures and redo activities.
