Failure of a course taken at Kenston Forest School. 

Student schedule permitting, a student may take a failed course over again at Kenston Forest School.  In these cases, the original course grade and second course grade are averaged together for the grade average.  One (1) credit toward graduation is awarded for successful completion of the course.

 With prior approval from Kenston Forest School, a student may retake a failed course at an institution external to Kenston Forest School via summer or evening classes.  In these cases, the original grade is retained in the Kenston Forest School grade average.  One (1) credit toward graduation is awarded for successful completion of the course.  The transcript from the external institution (reflecting the course retake) is attached to Kenston Forest School transcripts.

 Low passing score of a course taken at Kenston Forest School.

Student schedule permitting, a student may take a course previously passed with a low score over again at Kenston Forest School.  In these cases, the original course grade and second course grade are averaged together for grade averages.  One (1) credit toward graduation is awarded for successful completion of the course (i.e., passing the course twice earns a total of one (1) credit).

 With prior approval from Kenston Forest School, a student who completes a course with a low passing score may retake the course at an institution external to Kenston Forest School via summer or evening classes.  In these cases, the original grade is retained in the Kenston Forest School grade average.  The transcript from the external institution (reflecting the course retake) is attached to Kenston Forest School transcripts.

 Courses taken for the first time at external institutions.

With prior approval from Kenston Forest School, a student may take new courses from an external institution via summer or evening classes for graduation credit.  Credits must be obtained from approved postsecondary institutions, not other high schools*.  Generally, a Kenston Forest School half credit (½) is awarded for a standard semester-length, 3 credit hour class; therefore, two of these classes would be required to be considered equivalent to a standard Kenston Forest School year-long course.

 For these new courses, transfer credit may be awarded toward graduation, but the grades from the external institutions do not factor into Kenston Forest School grade averages.  The transcript from the external institution is attached to Kenston Forest School transcripts.

 In special circumstances, a single semester-length postsecondary course, while only transferring a half (1/2) credit toward graduation, can fulfill requirements as a prerequisite.  For example, with prior approval, a single semester of college Precalculus may serve as the prerequisite for calculus taken at Kenston Forest School. 

 *High school courses taken externally via Congressional Page programs, formal exchange programs, and courses taken in special circumstances (e.g., catastrophic health situations) may earn credit.
