HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT RECOVERY GENERAL INFORMATION
TUITION
RULES & REGULATIONS
Courses for Incoming Freshman and High School Recovery
cover a four week period from June 6 to July 1. Classes
meet four days a week with the fifth day being set aside
for office hours to meet with the teacher for the course as
needed. Class size is limited to 25 students and a course
may be cancelled due to lack of enrollment. Enrichment
courses also cover a four week period but these courses have
varying dates, times and grade level participation.
All tuition and fees must be paid at the time of registration
unless other arrangements are made with the Director of
Summer Programs. A full refund, minus a $50 processing
fee (non-Creighton Prep students would receive a full
refund, minus $75), may be obtained if a student withdraws
from a course during the first week of Summer Programs
(June 6-June 9). There will be no refunds after June 10.
Please note that if tuition is not paid in full by Friday,
June 10th, the student will be dropped from their course.
The rules and regulations for the regular academic year as
published in the Creighton Prep Student-Parent Handbook
apply to summer programs, except for some dress code
regulations, as described below.
GRADES
Grades earned by Creighton Prep students from courses
offered in summer school earn students appropriate credit
for graduation and are included on the students’ transcripts.
However, the grade does not replace the previous grade
earned and is not included in calculating the student’s
cumulative average or GPA.
Final grades for Creighton Prep students and nonCreighton Prep students will be reported to the respective
schools as percentages.
ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance is imperative. Any student absent for
more than 1 day or is tardy two times will be withdrawn
from the course. Please do not ask for special consideration.
No exceptions will be made for vacations or camps. There
will be no refund of tuition when a student is dropped due
to nonattendance. Students must be present for their final
exams. Students may be asked to report on Fridays to make
up missed class time.

Office, demerits will be given, and a phone call to a parent
will take place.
