Credit Flex
Ohio's Credit Flexibility Options offers students more ways to earn graduation credits by allowing them to explore different learning options beyond regular classes. Students can deepen their study in a subject and adjust their learning time and conditions. To earn credits through Credit Flex, students must create and plan their options based on the guidelines in the Sycamore Credit Flex Handbook.
Credit Flex is intended to motivate and increase student learning by allowing:
- Access to more learning resources, especially real-world experiences;
- Customization around individual student needs; and/or
- Use of multiple measures of learning, especially those where students demonstrate what they know and can do, apply their learning, or document performance.
Students may earn credits by:
- Taking online courses through an accredited university or college.
- Proving mastery of a course content through mastery assessment.
- Crafting an individual plan for independent study, internships/field experiences, or educational travel.
- Learning about work and through work.
Students interested in any of these three options must complete the Credit Flex Application.
Please read the Credit Flex Handbook to learn about the different options available for earning credit in flexible ways.
