High Tech Center
Adult Education
Retaking of Courses
Lee County High Tech Centers are open to
high school students 16 years of age or older
who are interested in technical education
as preparation for employment. Students
wanting to participate must meet with their
high school career specialist or guidance
counselor to discuss options for attending.
Once a decision is made, the high school
will schedule the student to go to a center
to complete the TABE (Test of Adult Basic
Education) to determine success in the
chosen program. After receiving test results
the high school will then schedule the student
to visit programs they have an interest in. At
this point the student would meet with a High
Tech Center counselor to discuss program
requirements and registration. Additional
information on Lee County High Tech Centers
can be found at center websites: http://voc.
leeschools.net/ http://nvt.leeschools.net/
Any student in grades 9–12 may retake a
required course for the purpose of improving a
grade. Grade forgiveness for required courses
shall be limited to replacing a grade of “D”,
or “F”, with a grade of “C” or higher earned
subsequently in the same or comparable course.
Forgiveness policies for elective courses shall
be limited to replacing a grade of “D” or “F” or
their equivalent with a grade of “C” or higher
or its equivalent earned subsequently in the
same, a comparable, or another course. Such
students may repeat a course for forgiveness
with grades above a “D”. Any course grade
not replaced according to a District forgiveness
policy shall be included in the calculation of the
cumulative grade point average required for
graduation. If a student receives a “D” or “F”
and subsequently receives a “D” or “F”, when
retaking the same course, the lower of the two
grades will be marked as elective credit and
both grades will be calculated in the GPA.
Dual Enrollment/Early Admission
*Grade forgiveness for high school courses taken
in middle school shall be limited to replacing a
grade of “C”, “D”, or “F”.
Dual
Enrollment
provides
advanced
instruction for students who demonstrate
readiness to engage in post secondary
academic work. Students may earn credit
towards both a high school diploma and an
associate or baccalaureate degree. A 2.0
cumulative GPA must be maintained. No
2
fees are assessed.
Students achieving passing scores on the
Official Practice Test will receive an Age Waiver
which allows them to register for the GED test.
You must register in person, prior to the test date,
with a valid Drivers’ License, passport, military ID
or other Government-issued Identification Card

enrolled in a Lee County Adult Education GED
Preparation Program).
Students who wish to participate in this program
must obtain minimum scores on placement
testing and carry required GPA: 3.5 for
Sophomores and 3.0 for Juniors and Seniors.
Early Admission allows students to enter college
full time following completion of grade eleven,
substituting two semesters of college work or its
equivalent for the last year of high school.
The Postsecondary Education
Readiness Test (P.E.R.T)

Florida Bright Futures
Scholarship Program
Bilingual Education Program (ESOL)
The bilingual/ESOL program is designed to
provide assistance to students where the
primary language spoken in the home is other
than English. The method of instruction used
in this program includes a variety of strategies
to assist students in improving their written and
verbal skills in English.
The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program is
created to establish a lottery-funded scholarship
program to reward any Florida high school
graduate who merits recognition of high
academic achievement and who enrolls in a
degree program, certificate program, or applied
technology program at an eligible Florida public
or private postsecondary education institution.
There are three state funded scholarships levels
for which high school seniors may qualify. The
scholarship may be used for either full-time or
part-time enrollment and is renewable.
The three scholarship levels are: Florida Academic
Scholars Award (FAS), Florida Medallion Scholars
Award (FMS), and the Florida Gold Seal Vocational
Scholars Award (GSV). The Each award has its
own academic eligibility requirements, award
amounts and funding length. A student may
receive funding for only one award. The highest
award earned by the student will be selected.
The Department of Education’s (DOE) evaluation
of the student’s official GPA may differ from that
of the GPA calculated by the School District
since only the required courses, for the selected
scholarship award will be calculated by DOE.
Lee Virtual School
www.lvip.leeschools.net
Qualified students may take classes online
from Lee Virtual School. Internet access is
required.
Online courses carry the same
weight and credit as traditional courses
taught in a public school classroom.
*School counselors can provide details to interested students.
**Students are required to complete at least one virtual course
prior to graduation.
Credit Retrieval
The e2020 is a credit retrieval program that is
available to students who meet the specific
program criteria.

administrative approval is required.
Multiple Credit Courses
Multiple credit is available for some courses as
long as student achievement expectations are
raised as the student progresses through the
sequence. No limit is set on the number of times
a multiple credit course may be used.
High School guidance counselors have more
detailed information on eligibility criteria.
Information can also be obtained from the DOE
website, www.FloridaStudentFinancialAid.org.
Advanced Placement
The Advanced Placement program is a
cooperative educational endeavor between
high schools, colleges, and universities. Students
who participate in the AP program gain college
level skills, and in many cases they also earn
college credit while they are still in high school.
Criteria for enrollment and course registration
guidelines are available during registration.
State of Florida
University System
Minimum Admissions Requirements for Freshmen
The Florida Board of Regents has established
minimum admissions requirements for all of
Florida’s public universities. However, each state
university may establish higher or additional
requirements beyond these state minimums.
*Students enrolled in an AP class are expected to take the College
Board AP Exam in the Spring.
Honors
Honors level courses are intended for
students who are highly motivated and are
able to maintain an A or B in coursework.
These courses have a rigorous workload
and involve intense dissection of texts.
The state minimum requirements that apply
to all Florida public universities are as follows:
High School Graduation. Graduation from an
accredited high school or the equivalent (GED)
is required.
4
High School Grade Point Average and Admissions
Test. The high school grade point average (HSGPA)
will be based on a 4.0 score recalculated by the
university from grades earned in high school
academic core courses.
Additional weights
are normally assigned to grades of D or better
in Honors, Advanced Placement, International
Baccalaureate, and other advanced courses.
Meeting
eligibility
requirements
are
the
responsibility of each student and his/her parents.
For information related to NCAA eligibility, please
visit www.ncaa.org.
NAIA
NAIA is made up of smaller 4-year colleges
throughout the United States, and competitive
levels are comparable to NCAA D2 schools. For
information related to NCAA eligibility, please visit
www.playnaia.org.
High School Course Description Requirements.
Students must complete 18 units of high school
work distributed over an approved range of subject
areas.
COLLEGE ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
There are two major athletic associations in the
United States that regulate who may participate
in college sports: The National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) and The National Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Any student
athlete interested in playing collegiate sports must
register with the organization affiliated with their
target schools after the completion of the Junior
year of high school.
NCAA
NCAA schools are organized into three divisions,
D1, D2, and D3. Division 1 schools are typically the
largest universities, and compete in a minimum
of 14 sports for both males and females. These
schools often have world-class facilities, attract the
top athletes in the country, and receive the most
media attention. Division 2 schools are smaller than
D1 schools, and student athletes usually finance
their education with a combination of athletic and
educational scholarships. Division 3 schools are the
smallest of the NCAA institutions. D3 schools are
not allowed to offer athletic scholarships. In order
to participate in Division I or II college sports as a
freshman, a student must register and be certified
by NCAA Clearinghouse.
