CREDIT-BY-EXAM WITHOUT PRIOR INSTRUCTION

A student will be permitted to take an exam to earn credit for an academic course for which the student has no prior

instruction. i.e., for advancement, or to accelerate to the next grade level. The exams offered by LFCISD are approved by the

District’s board of trustees,and state law requires the use of certain exams, such as College Board Advanced Placement (AP)

and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, when applicable. The dates on which exams are scheduled during the

2018-2019 school year will be published in appropriate District publications and on the District’s website. The only

exceptions to the published dates will be for any exams administered by another entity beside the district or if a request is

made outside of these tie frames by a student experiencing homelessness or by a student involved in the foster care system.

When another entity administers an exam, a student and the District must comply with the testing schedule of the other entity.

During each testing window provided by the District a student may attempt a specific exam only once.

If a student plans to take an exam, the student (or parent) must register with the school counselor no later than 30 days prior

to the scheduled testing date. [For further information, see policy EHDC.]

No fee shall be charged for an examination for acceleration provided by the District; however, a refundable deposit of $25.00

for each exam requested shall be required. The deposit shall be forfeited for any exam requested but not completed by the

student. As per recent legislation, the passing score required to earn credit on an exam is 80 on approved tests. A student may

take an exam to earn course credit no more than twice. If a student fails to achieve the designated score on the applicable

exam before the beginning of the school year in which the student would need to enroll in the course according to the

school’s course sequence, the student must complete the course.

Course credit will be awarded to students for successful completion of CBE through approved schools. Such credit will count

for graduation, but will not be used for ranking purposes and honors recognition. Course credit will be awarded for successful

courses for Division I and II schools. The core course requirements for the Foundation High School Plan (FHSP) are aligned

with the NCAA required core courses; however, interested students must consult the NCAA website for current information

as they create/revise their high school four year plans. Visit http://www.ncaa.org, click on “Rules Compliance” and then

“Eligibility”. Please read “Becoming Eligible” for more information. For example: Statistics (onlevel or AP) are NCAA

approved but College Prep Math is not. English IV, English IV AP, English IV DC are NCAA approved, but College Prep

English is not.

TEXAS VIRTUAL SCHOOL NETWORK (TXVSN)

The Texas Virtual School Network (TxVSN) has been established by the state as one method of distance learning. A student

has the option, with certain limitations, to enroll in a course offered through the TxVSN to earn course credit for graduation.

Depending on the TxVSN course in which a student enrolls, the course may be subject to the “no pass, no play” rules. In

addition, for a student who enrolls in a TxVSN course for which an end-of-course (EOC) assessment is required, the student

must still take the corresponding EOC assessment. If you have any questions or wish to make a request that your child be

enrolled in a TxVSN course, please contact the school counselor. Unless an exception is made, by the school administration,

a student will not be allowed to enroll in a TxVSN course if the school offers the same or a similar course. A copy of policy

EHDE will be distributed to parents of high school students at least once each year. If you do not receive a copy or have

questions about this policy, please contact school administration.
