understand that while there is a teacher who assigns work and grades assignments/tests there is little
one on one interaction with the teacher. Students also need to understand that IDLA classes don’t
pause when the school district has vacations such as Potato Harvest, Thanksgiving, Christmas and
Spring Break. Assignments may be given and be due during those times.

IDLA classes cost $75.00 paid to the district and reimbursed if the student passes the class with a “C”
or above. A student can take up to three classes (one per trimester) a year and get reimbursed.
Summer classes are not reimbursed.

At this point AP and Dual Credit courses are free to take; but each student is responsible to pay for
college credits.

Some of these courses are *NCAA approved.

BYU Independent Study
BYU Independent Study offers a wide variety of courses for high school students. These are generally
used to take classes not offered at Snake River High School, credit recovery or to get ahead in high
school. Most of these classes cost $144.00. They are not on the *NCAA approved list.

*NCAA is the national clearinghouse for students who will be participating in college level sports. The
Clearing House requires certain classes to be completed to qualify for competing in a college.

Independent Study, Virtual Learning Course
Correspondence courses and other courses for credit must meet the criteria as defined by the Idaho
State Board of Education and they must have:

A. A recommendation by the high school counselor and approved by the principal.
B. Taught by an instructor certified in the respective subject area.
C. Have an accredited transcript of grades.

Test by Examination
A student may receive credit by examination for no more than twelve (12) credits of the total credits
required for graduation and for no more than twelve (12) of the core credits required for graduation
by Snake River District #52. The guidelines for credit by examination can be found in District Policy #
6110 and #6110p. A copy of this policy can be obtained in the high school office or on The Snake River
School District’s Website.

Repeating Courses for Credit
Students will be allowed to repeat any course in which they received a B, C, D, or F grade. After
repeating the course, both grades will be used to determine Valedictorian, Salutatorian, High Honors,
and Honors at graduation. Request forms for repeating courses are available in the counseling office.
