Credit by Exam (CBE)


MCA offers HISD's Credit by Exam Program, which enables students in kindergarten through grade 12 without prior instruction to advance to a higher grade level or test out of a high-school course. It also helps students with prior instruction to pass a failed course and helps previously home-schooled students, students from unaccredited private schools or foreign schools, and students whose records are unavailable to be placed in the appropriate grade level.

Parents and students interested in CBE should contact the Mrs. Becker, School Guidance Counselor, to arrange a conference to discuss the CBE process and complete the application form. The application form must be completed, signed by the student’s parent or legal guardian or by the student, if age 18 or over, and returned to the school.   There IS a fee to take the test, although students can receive waivers in certain circumstances.
