Units of credit are awarded in a subject when the course has been successfully completed. All courses are open entry/open exit, meaning students may start and complete course work anytime during the school year. Typically, one (1) unit of credit is awarded based, on successfully completing a "unit of work". Units of work are made up of lessons, projects, quizzes and a final test. Because students work at their own pace, courses may be completed in less than the traditional 18 or 36 week time period.
