  1. Rutgers University- Camden

Partnering with Rutgers University-Camden, CHPS will pilot a dual enrollment program that enables high school students to earn up to 30 college credits prior to graduation. Of these, students complete up to 15 credits on the Rutgers-Camden campus, providing early exposure to the academic rigor and campus experience of a research university. During their senior year, students will travel to the Rutgers-Camden campus two days per week, enrolling in up to two courses per semester, with the option to take a third course during the summer term. Rutgers-Camden will offer multiple pathways to match diverse student pathways. The initial pathways will include the option of two general education classes, as well as classes in business, computer science and technology, fine arts, performing arts, and nursing. The pilot pathways are designed to align with existing pathways offered in the high school. They are designed with the assumptions that students will have already earned credits through AP and community college dual credit courses and that students experiencing discipline-specific courses on the campus with a mix of traditional college students and their dual enrollment peers will maximize the authenticity of the experience. Your counselors will have information about courses offered, schedules, registration and fees. 

  1. Online Courses

Students may opt to take an online course through an accredited college/university and receive college credits. The District will also accept online credit from an accredited high school or University online program. Any course taken outside of a Cherry Hill schedule will not be reflected in weighted or unweighted GPA.

 
  1. Credit Recovery

Students who fail or lose credit for a required course are strongly encouraged to make the course up in the summer. This is true especially in sequential courses where prior knowledge is essential for future learning. Grades are not averaged together. Cherry Hill Public Schools do not offer summer school. A list of area high schools and vendors and their credit recovery offerings are available from your School Counselor.

  1. College courses taken on college campuses 

BOARD POLICY 5460: Graduation

Students may opt to take a college course through an accredited college/university and receive college credits. The student is responsible for all costs associated. The course will only appear on the transcript if it fulfills a graduation requirement.

 
  1. Two three-credit college semester courses, or the equivalent, would be equal to a full year high school course.
  2. Prior approval to substitute college courses for high school courses must be received from the principal. The college course must meet the requirements of the high school course for which it is substituted.
  3. College courses taken in this manner will count toward graduation requirements, but will not be counted in class rank or weighted or unweighted GPA.
