Non-traditional Courses

BRIEF SUMMARY

Nontraditional courses include classes taught online or through blended learning, distance learning, credit recovery, independent study, or similar means.

KEY POINTS

• Many high schools offer credit recovery or credit retrieval programs for students to receive credit for a course they previously failed. Some students take credit recovery to improve grades for courses that they took previously or to take courses for the first time to catch up.

SHARED WISDOM

• For a nontraditional program to be NCAA approved, courses must meet the following requirements:
  • The courses must meet NCAA core-course requirements.
  • The courses must have ongoing and regular teacher-initiated interaction for the purposes of teaching, evaluating, and providing assistance throughout the duration of the course. This may include synchronous or asynchronous instructive interaction, including emails, videoconferencing, online chats, phone calls, and feedback on assessments.
  • The courses must have a defined time period for completion. This means the nontraditional program must identify the fastest and slowest paths to successfully complete a course (i.e., maximum and minimum time frame for completion).
