Academic Affairs Policy 2.22

LSU provides free mandatory training for classroom coaches supporting Choice Credit courses.

Students who are satisfied with their final college grade may opt-in to receive LSU credit.

High school teachers, called coaches, receive strong support – resources, training, and guidance – to create engaging learning experiences and effectively guide students.

To register, schools/districts pay a $100 per credit hour per course for each participating student.

LSU will supply an Instructor of Record (IOR) along with a fully asynchronous, stand-alone LSU Choice Credit course, encompassing assignments, assessments, instructional videos, and notes. Additionally, a Choice Credit coach will be assigned as a liaison between LSU and the participating high school.

Each participating high school assigns a trained teacher (coach) to aid student registration, offer coursework guidance, and maintain ongoing communication with LSU’s Instructor of Record for student success.

Students receive a quality educational experience within their regular high school course structure that matches the pace and rigor of those offered at LSU.

No permanent LSU record of Choice Credit course outcomes will be maintained unless a student explicitly chooses grade transcription after receiving the collegiate final grade.

LSU Instructor of Record will provide coaching for your instructor if they are struggling with the application of Choice Credit curriculum within the classroom.
