An additional 2 credits may be earned through extra credit work for a maximum of 10 high school credits. Extra credit assignments will be assigned on a case-by-case basis considering a cadets age, current grade level, learning support considerations, credits earned prior to entering OYCP, credits needed to get back on track to graduate with their Oregon high school diploma. OYCP is not a “graduate early” program. We will not advance you ahead of your cohort  

To be eligible for an OYCP diploma, Cadets must enter the program with 14 credits or more in the correct core subject areas and be in or entering grade 12. The total credit requirements for an OYCP diploma are 24 credits from specific core subject areas per Oregon State requirements.

Students may apply credits earned from other schools towards their OYCP diploma if those credits meet certain requirements. OYCP accepts credits earned in standard Oregon schools and from standard secondary schools from other states. Home school credits will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

OYCP's main objective is to support Oregon High School students with credit recovery options in core curricular subjects with the intent that they return to their Oregon High School and graduate with their class. OYCP may offer a limited number of Cadets who qualify the opportunity to enroll in our GED preparation program and The General Educational Development (GED) certificate may be earned at OYCP.

A student’s grade will be based on academic achievement, which may include performance objectives.

A = 4 grade points / 94%-100%

B = 3 grade points / 87%-93%

C = 2 grade points / 80%-86%

Credits are awarded depending on/but not limited to:

– Time Spent

– Material Covered

– Knowledge Gained

– Passing all tests at 80% or greater

Any student receiving below 80% or behind in his/her work will be required to attend tutorial classes until their grades and work are acceptable.

Students may apply credits earned from other schools towards their diploma if those credits meet certain requirements. A school must accept credits earned in standard Oregon schools and from standard secondary schools from other states. A school must also accept credits from private, alternative and non-standard schools if the Northwest Accreditation Commission and affiliates accredit the school. Home school credits will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Credits earned at Oregon Challenge High School will be mailed or electronically sent to the resident home high schools upon request.

Students leaving the program before graduation will not receive any credits.

All students will take the following tests:

The Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE)
Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)
