CREDIT RECOVERY and GRADE FORGIVENESS
Need to make up credits or boost your GPA? Ask your school counselor about the options listed below. Please know that only
grades of “D”s and “F”s are eligible for forgiveness, with the exception of “C”s earned in middle school.
Night School:
Students must obtain a completed High School Credit Referral Form from their school counselor and bring it to the night school
campus on the night they enroll in class. Most night schools use the APEX credit recovery program which enables students to
make up high school credits on-line. The curriculum is self-paced, and progress and completion of the course is mastery based.
Once the work is completed, the credit is earned. Visit the websites below for school times and course offerings:
• Clearview Adult Education Center https://www.pcsb.org/ClearviewAdult
• Clearwater Adult Education Center http://www.pcsb.org/caec
• Lakewood Community http://www.pcsb.org/lakewood-cs
• Palm Harbor Community http://www.pcsb.org/ph-cs
• Tomlinson Adult Learning Center http://www.pcsb.org/tomlinson
For more information or to sign up for courses, speak with your school counselor.
Extended Learning Program (ELP):
ELP is offered on our campus after school. All core courses (i.e., English, Math, Science, and Social Studies) are open to 9th, 10th,
11th, and 12th graders. Courses will be taken via APEX – a computer-based credit recovery program that allows students to work
at their own pace until the subject matter is mastered. Please note that seats are limited and that a student must be first
approved by the guidance department and then accepted by the ELP coordinator. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served
basis, however, seniors are given priority placement.
A few points to be aware of: (1) students must finish all course requirements to earn credit or grade forgiveness; (2) students
must earn a passing grade of “C” on the subject exam to earn credit; (3) students may not miss more than three days or nine
hours of instructional time without prior approval from the ELP coordinator; (4) students may be suspended or removed from
the program for not meeting the guidelines and procedures as outlined by the ELP coordinator and instructor(s); and (5) APEX
courses do not meet NCAA credit requirements.
For more information or to sign up for courses, speak with your school counselor.
Florida Virtual School (FLVS):
FLVS is a fully accredited public school that offers more than 120 FREE courses to K-12 public, private, and homeschool students.
Every FLVS course is taught by a dedicated and certified teacher who is focused on student success. Courses are aligned with
Florida and national standards and are accessible 24/7. Core courses are NCAA approved. Enrollment is open 365 days a year due
to the FLVS year-round rolling enrollment model.
For more information or to sign up for courses, speak with your school counselor and visit https:/www.flvs.net.
Pinellas Virtual School (PVS):
PVS brings together the best technologies, the best curriculum and most importantly the best of Pinellas County teachers who
provide an incredible online experience. PVS uses the Canvas and Florida Virtual School learning management systems for
curriculum delivery.
For more information or to sign up for courses, speak with your school counselor and visit http://www.pcsb.org/virtualschool.

or 727-873-4729.10th Grade Post-Secondary Preparation For this year, you’ll want to stay on track with your high school classes and activities and begin to narrow down the plan for your future. Fall: Take the PSAT and explore careers Take a practice PSAT. Taking the PSAT as a sophomore will help prepare you for the real thing next year. It also allows you to release your name to colleges so you can start receiving brochures from them. Start getting ready for the ACT. Ask your guidance counselor about the PLAN assessment program offered by American College Testing. This program helps determine your study habits and academic progress and interests; it will also prepare you for the ACT. Stay on track with your courses. Work with your guidance counselor to make sure you’re enrolled in the courses you need to prepare you for college or a career. Move on to the next level of classes in the core subjects (English, math, science, history, and a foreign language). Begin learning about the college admissions process. Get familiar with general college entrance requirements. The guidance counselor’s office, the library, college Web sites, and advice articles are all good sources of information. Continue exploring potential careers. Explore your career options in more detail—research possible careers to learn about the tasks, education, and training necessary for each occupation. Winter: Read and Write Take on new roles. Stay involved with your extracurricular activities and work toward leadership positions in the activities you like best. Become involved in community service and other volunteer activities. Read, read, read. Developing your reading skills will help prepare you for tests and make you a well-rounded individual. Read as many books as you can and read the newspaper to learn about current affairs. Practice your writing. You’ll need good writing skills no matter what path you pursue, so work on those skills now to get prepared. Find a teacher or another adult who can advise and encourage you to write well. Get advice from your counselor. Meet with your guidance counselor to make sure you’re staying on track. You can also discuss your PSAT scores and ask about postsecondary enrollment options and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Spring/Summer: Keep your grades up and reach out to colleges Keep your grades up. There’s probably a lot competing for your attention, but it’s important to remain focused on doing well in your classes. Remember that your grades affect your GPA and class rank—two factors that colleges consider in the admissions process. Start your college search. Use our college search tools to decide what factors are important to you and see a list of colleges that matches your criteria. Attend college fairs and read the material you get from all types of schools—you may see something you like. Contact colleges that interest you. Write to schools and ask for more information about their academic requirements and any programs or activities that you’re interested in. It’s especially important to start this process now if you think you want to attend a military academy. Get a summer job. Finding steady summer work will look good to prospective colleges and employers. Putting the money you earn away for college will also help you get a head start on a personal savings plan.

PCUFStats2021.indd 2 7/28/21 2:05 PMPost-Secondary Options THE FL COLLEGE SYSTEM http://www.fldoe.org/schools/higher-ed/fl-college-system/colleges/ Florida's colleges remain the primary point of access to higher education in Florida, with 65 percent of the state's high school graduates pursuing postsecondary education beginning at one of Florida’s 28 colleges. The 28 state colleges offer career-related certificates and two-year associate degrees that prepare students to transfer to a bachelor’s degree program or to enter jobs requiring specific skills. Many also offer baccalaureate degrees in high-demand fields. Florida College System institutions have an open-door policy. This means students will be admitted to an associate degree program. THE INDEPENDENT COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES OF FLORIDA http://www.icuf.org/newdevelopment/schools/ The Independent Colleges & Universities of Florida (ICUF) is a diverse association of 30 private, not-for-profit, higher education institutions. All are based in Florida and are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools (SACS). They serve more than 150,000 degree-seeking students. NONPUBLIC POSTSECONDARY SCHOOLS/COLLEGES https://web02.fldoe.org/CIE/SearchSchools/SchoolSearch.aspx There are also numerous institutions that have met the requirements of the Commission for Independent Education to operate a nonpublic postsecondary school/college in the state of Florida. CAREER & TECHNICAL SCHOOLS https://www.pcsb.org/Page/21885#career_and_tech_schools Vocational education is education that prepares people to work in a trade, a craft, as a technician, or in professional vocations such as engineering, accountancy, nursing, medicine, architecture, or law. Craft vocations are usually based on manual or practical activities and are traditionally non-academic but related to a specific trade or occupation. THE MILITARY https://www.todaysmilitary.com When it comes to learning about the Military, knowing where to start your research may seem daunting. Don't worry — Today’s Military is there to help. The first steps to considering service include understanding the Military's basic entrance requirements, exploring the different Service branches and deciding between enlisted and officer career paths. Today's Military overview pages show the various stages of a military career, from the joining process to training, working and taking advantage of military benefits.
