South River High – Alternative Credit

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

0.5/sem This offering includes all individual work-study programs and experiences occurring outside the school which award credit towards graduation but do not result in money payment to the student. Plans for alternative credit experiences can originate with the student, teacher, a community group or individual. Alternative credit experiences of particular note are those leading to community service and accelerated research study. Community service credit may be used to meet the one credit Practical Arts requirement. Alternative credit is elective in nature and usually awarded as alternative credit in a particular content area. It is important that these experiences match well with the student’s general education plan and interests. Students interested in alternative credit should seek the advice of a counselor.
