Having trouble keeping on track to graduate? Here are some options for you to recover lost credit.
1. Credit Recovery at FTF is a remediation plan utilizing computer assisted instruction (PLATO) to recover or re-gain course credit. To be eligible for this program, a student must have failed a course due to low grades in the previous semester or as a result of Attendance Review.
Final grade of 0-64
- I failed a class with a final grade ranging from 0 - 64.
- If the course had an EOC, I passed the EOC at the end of last semester.
How can I make up this credit?
-
Attend PLATO sessions after school between the hours of 3:15-5:00 PM OR on Saturday's between the hours of 8-12 PM OR complete PLATO hours on my home computer.

Complete the 45 hour (depending on pre-test, could be more) course.
