For high school students, a weighted GPA is generated by awarding an additional 5 points to the semester grade for an Honors course and Honors/Dual Credit course. Application of Outside Credits (while enrolled at HCA) No outside course (either through online, summer school, homeschool, or some other method) that is already offered at HCA may be taken for satisfaction of HCA’s requirements without extenuating circumstances and administrative approval. The acceptability of outside courses for HCA credit will be evaluated for accreditation and on its course syllabus, objectives, and expectations. When an outside course is completed, an official record (transcript) must be provided to the Director of College Guidance before it is applied to the appropriate graduation requirement and the student’s official HCA transcript. As a matter of integrity, it is our philosophy that an HCA diploma must reflect an HCA-approved education, and it will be rare that an outside course can replace an offered course. High School (Grades 9-12) Recovery Credits No more than four semester credits may be received through online credit recovery courses. High School students who fail more than four semesters of class work will complete recovery for any beyond four by retaking the course in-person at HCA. Recovery credits are not included in calculating grade point averages. Please note: recovery credits are NOT considered a passed class by KSHSAA.
