THREE AVENUES TO ACHIEVE CREDIT

1. Demonstration of Mastery- testing out of a course

Course is designed by HHS departments with a specific Teacher of Record. Typically, the student will be required

to take the midterm and final of the course. There may be additional requirements as set by the teacher.

2. Pre-approved/Written Credit Flex Courses

Students will fill out the specific application and follow the predetermined guidelines for that specific course. The

pre-approved courses are below:

 Foundations of Physical Education*  Graphics

 Any of the Physical Education Electives  Digital Photo

 Integrated Applications

*Students in Foundations of Physical Education must complete the Ohio Department of Education Physical

Education Assessments. These assessments must be facilitated by a licensed PE teacher. The PE assessments

dates are the last two Wednesdays of September, the first two Wednesdays in April (8:00 – 10:00 am), and the

first two Thursdays (10:00 am-12:00 pm) during the summer school session. These dates/times can be found on

the High School calendar. All students should meet in E-100 at Hudson High School.

3. Enrichment through Experience or Performance

Student writes his/her plan of action from Ohio Content Standards for that course (see above “Area of Study” links

to view specific standards).

American history or American government may take and substitute test scores for end-of-course state
exams to avoid double testing. Students also may substitute grades from College Credit Plus courses in
these subjects for end-of-course state exams.
(2)Industry credential and workforce readiness. Students earn 12 points through a State Board of Education-
approved, industry-recognized credential or group of credentials in a single career field and achieve a workforce
readiness score on the WorkKeys assessment. The state of Ohio will pay one time for those who take the WorkKeys
assessment.
(3)College admission test. Students earn “remediation-free” scores in English language arts and mathematics on
a nationally recognized college admission exam. The state of Ohio will pay one time for all 11th grade students in
the classes of 2018 and beyond to take the exam free of charge. ACT Benchmarks for 2016 include: 18 in College
