Specifically, summer school programs afford students the opportunity to take repeat courses to meet deficiencies, to enroll in required courses for advancement, and to enroll in elective courses for enrichment. The general guidelines for summer school are as follows: Credit for repeated work will be granted on the same basis as that for new work. A student may receive a unit credit for a course only once. Courses shall be structured to require completion of all course requirements normally taught over a minimum of 140 clock hours of classroom instruction per unit of credit. With principal s approval, students may be allowed to enroll in up to two repeat or elearning classes, or combination thereof. Priority will be given to students enrolling in courses required for graduation or promotion.
