• CREDIT ADVANCEMENT

    Students may elect to take courses at the high school to advance their credits. This may be done through summer school or dual enrollment.  Students interested in pursuing this option must meet with his/her counselor to make sure appropriate criteria are met.

     

    *If a student wishes to take college courses for dual enrollment credit, his/her counselor must be notified prior to registration and the appropriate paperwork must be completed at the high school.  All final grades must be received from the college before credit will be awarded to the high school transcript.

     

    **If a student wishes to take summer school for credit advancement, only one course may be taken during the summer school sessions and all course work must be completed within the summer school time frame.  All credit advancement students must begin their coursework with the June session.

    VIRTUAL LEARNING - (ONLINE at AHS)

    ACCESS (Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide)

    ACCESS Virtual Learning is an education initiative of the Alabama Department of Education.  ACCESS provides students an opportunity to take advanced courses to which they may not otherwise have access.  These courses will be taken during the regular school day and would be a part of the student’s eight-period schedule.  AP courses taken online through ACCESS will be weighted as indicated under the Special Notices section of this packet. There is no charge for these classes during the traditional school year.  

     

    Students wishing to take an ACCESS online course should:

    • Complete a Course Request Form and other required forms.

    • Have a parent/guardian contact your counselor for a conference to discuss the structure of ACCESS courses. 

    • Every request may not result in a placement.  In the event a student is not placed in one of the above classes he/she will be asked to select another Albertville High School course.

    • Students should be aware that there are specific drop windows set by ACCESS.  If a student fails to drop a course within the designated windows, their grade will be final and will be recorded on their transcript.
