Credit Recovery Program Many high schools offer credit recovery or credit retrieval programs for students to receive credit for a course they previously failed. Some students take credit recovery to improve grades for courses that they took previously or to take courses for the first time to catch up. For a credit recovery course to count as an NCAA core course, it must meet the following requirements: The course must meet all the requirements of an NCAA-approved core course, and in some instances, nontraditional course. The school must follow its credit recovery policies, regardless if the student is an athlete. The NCAA Eligibility Center may request the school’s policy, if necessary. The credit recovery course should be clearly identified as such on the high school transcript. A repeated course must be substantially comparable, qualitatively and quantitatively, to the previously attempted course. 11/6/2018
