1 Credit Flexibility Handbook Sycamore High School Expanded Educational Opportunities for High School Credit
2 Sycamore High School Chris Davis, Principal Karen Bare, Assistant Principal Renee Hevia, Assistant Principal Kevin Mays, Assistant Principal Jim Stoll, Athletic Director Marilee Tanner, Aves Academy Administrator Dear Parents and Students, Ohio s Plan for Credit Flexibility is designed to broaden the scope of curricular options available to students, increase the depth of study possible for a particular subject, and allow tailoring of learning time and/or conditions. These are ways in which aspects of learning can be customized around students interests and needs. Students may now earn credits by: completing coursework, testing out of or demonstrating mastery of course content, or pursuing one or more educational options (e.g., online/distance learning, dual credit, educational travel, independent study, internships, music, arts, after-school programs, community service, or other individualized projects). Credit Flexibility is intended to motivate and increase student learning by allowing: access to more learning resources, especially real-world experiences, customization around individual student needs, and/or use of multiple measures of learning, especially those where students demonstrate what they know and can do, apply their learning, or document performance. Please use this Credit Flexibility Handbook as a guide to understanding what options are available. Each option requires a different level of student independence needed to successfully complete the course work for credit. For this reason, all courses and students interest level should be carefully considered. Students interested in accessing Credit Flex should detach and complete the Credit Flex Application and follow the requirements outlined on the timeline in this handbook. If you still have questions regarding Credit Flexibility, please visit and view the information provided within the Credit Flexibility Information link on the district home page under News. Sincerely, Chris Davis Principal Sycamore High School 7400 Cornell Road Cincinnati, Ohio (513) Fax (513)

Upon successfully completing the paper/pencil test, students will receive specific assignments for the Mastery Assessment Portfolio. They will then have until the next Mastery Assessment testing week to complete their portfolios. All portfolio presentations will be scheduled through the Credit Flex Panel. Credit for Mastery Assessment will be assigned based on the course content: 1 semester =.5 credit; 2 semesters = 1 credit; 1 semester of PE =.25 credit.

9 Additional Information AP Online Courses Students who take an AP class online must provide proof that the course has been audited and approved by The College Board in order to receive a weighted grade. Unless such proof is provided, a non-weighted grade will appear on the transcript. Student Athletes Students should speak with counselors and Credit Flex Facilitators to evaluate the impact of accessing Credit Flexibility on athletic eligibility. Students must also sign and return the Credit Flexibility Athletic Waiver before beginning any Credit Flex option (see Appendix). High School Athletics To be eligible to play interscholastic high school sports, a student must be currently enrolled and must have been enrolled in school in five full credit courses during the immediately preceding grading period (semester, quarter, six-weeks, etc.). A student enrolled in Credit Flex courses must, at the conclusion of the high school s grading period, be passing all Credit Flex courses used to establish athletic eligibility. The student may not yet have completed the courses, but it must be determined that the student was passing the course(s) at the time the grading period ended. If it is determined that the student is not passing, no credit toward the five credits (or equivalent) required for eligibility can be awarded. College Athletics Students who anticipate continuing participation in sports at the college level should carefully consider the possibility that the NCAA Initial Eligibility Center may not include some Credit Flexibility options as part of the qualifying core courses required for Division I and II eligibility. For potential college student athletes, the NCAA eligibility requirements specifically address the types of learning opportunities available through the Credit Flexibility policy (e.g., online/distance learning, independent study, one course taken over two years). The NCAA does not allow credit by exam (or Mastery Assessment) courses to be applied to core course eligibility requirements. If you expect to play college sports, you must check with your counselor to ensure that any credits taken through Credit Flex will meet the NCAA Eligibility Center standards. -6-

Such credits are transferrable from the college/university at the discretion of the receiving institution (see above). Transcripted Credit: College credit that appears on an official transcript from the granting college/university. All transcripted credit is transferred at the discretion of the receiving institution.
