4. It is recommended that students pass at least 6.0 credits each year to enable all students to reach the mandatory graduation credits within 4 years.  If a student fails one or more courses per year, it is strongly recommended that he/she attend a summer school program for make-up credit.  Once a student falls behind in credits, it is very difficult to graduate in 4 years.
