Credit Policy:

TrekNorth will award a minimum of 1/2 credit for completion of specific academic standards as prescribed by MN Graduation Standards. Seminars in which standards are obtained in a single quarter will be valued as 1/2 credit. Seminars in which standards are obtained over the course of two quarters (1 semester) will be valued as 1 full credit. Seminars in which standards are obtained over 3 quarters (1 1/2 semester) will be valued at 1.5 credits. Seminars in which standards are obtained over the course of a full academic year will be valued at 2 credits. Independent study scenarios and alternative credit acquisition will be awarded credit value according to the discretion of the supervising teacher.

Because circumstances will arise in which students are unable to acquire specific standards because they are pursuing an advanced course of study (ie. Advanced Placement and PSEO), the school shall allow students to waive certain standards in favor of advanced studies as allowed by the Minnesota Graduation Standards. Under this provision, TrekNorth may allow students to test-out of a required seminar and it's integrated standard in favor of an advanced course of study.
