Course Catalog - Oswego Community Unit School District 308

Prerequisites must be completed before a student’s schedule may include a course with the Pass option.
An 80% or better constitutes a Pass. Students earning 79% or less will receive the grade earned (C, D, F).
The Pass option may not be carried into the next year if not used.
Classes taken Pass/Fail DO NOT earn quality points.
The Building Principal or his/her designee will determine eligibility of the Pass option.
Repeating Courses
When a student fails a required class, she or he must repeat the class. All “F” grades remain on a student's transcript and in the student’s
grade point calculations. In addition, a student may request to repeat an elective course in any area where the skill level needs to be
increased before moving on to the next course in a sequence, but, double credit may not be earned. The grade earned the first time the
course was completed will remain on the transcript, but will be removed from the grade point average. The decision to voluntarily repeat a
course should not be taken lightly and should be made in conjunction with the student’s counselor. Under individual circumstances,
students can enroll in the district program for credit recovery, upon failing multiple required courses. Enrollment availability is limited and
determined by the student’s counselor.
Audit Policy
A student may audit a course providing space is available at the time of registration and with the consent of the instructor. Students who
audit classes are required to complete an audit form. In addition, they must meet the same expectations as other students in the class. No
grade or credit is awarded.
