Credit Policy

• Students have the opportunity to earn a total of 24 credits. If a student should fail a class, he/she is encouraged to make up that credit.
• On occasion, a student fails multiple classes. If they should fail four courses (two credits), their graduation from Farmington High School is very much in jeopardy. 
• The Farmington District allows a student to earn up to four credits through classes outside the district. This includes accredited virtual learning programs, summer school at other districts, and correspondence classes. All outside credits to be used for make up credit must have prior approval from the student’s counselor.
• Students have four years of traditional public high school, after that time and they have not received their diploma by August 31st of their last year of high school, they will need to contact Farmington Central High School (248-489-3333) about a graduation plan.
