Unfortunately, a Learn Everywhere program is not available in your state.

Your state does have some limited options available for earning credit from out-of-classroom learning.

Unlike Learn Everywhere policies that allow for approved program providers to offer course credit, the programs listed below require the student to submit an application and complete specific program requirements. Students will need to contact their school district administrator in order to take advantage of this program(s).

Academic Credit For Out-of-Classroom Learning

Credit by Examination

A student may earn a maximum of 6 ½ units of credit without completing units of study if the student passes a state-developed or state-approved examination in a given high school subject with a score of at least 85 percent and passes an oral examination or successfully completes a special project to demonstrate proficiency. This option is available for those students seeking to accelerate, which allows them to take additional classes or to possibly graduate prior to their cohort date.

Independent Study

Students may earn a maximum of 3 units of elective credit towards a Regents diploma through independent study. The independent study shall be:

  • academically rigorous and aligned to New York State learning standards;
  • overseen by a teacher knowledgeable and experienced in the subject area of the independent study;
  • based on a syllabus on file for each independent study; and
  • of comparable scope and quality to classroom work that would have been done at the school district awarding the credit.
