Gwinnett high school students can catch up or get ahead with summer classes. Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) offers high school students, including rising 9th graders, four ways to learn for credit this summer.
Online summer classes (June 7-30) will be offered through Gwinnett Online Campus (GOC). Registration for online classes is open March 15 through May 30 atwww.mypaymentsplus.com. Find course offerings and frequently asked questions online, along with registration information on the GOC website. Note: Students will be invited to an optional virtual orientation on the first day of class. All courses will require a face-to-face final exam at our GOC campus, located at 713 Hi Hope Road in Lawrenceville. Face-to-face final exams for Health and PE will be held June 28 at GOC, and final exams for all other courses will be held June 29-30 at GOC.
Face-to-face summer classes (June 14-July 7) will be offered at three locations— Collins Hill HS, Duluth HS, and Parkview HS. Online registration is open for face-to-face classes from March 15 through June 4. Students may register online (www.mypaymentsplus.com) for face-to-face summer classes through June 4. Find course offerings and frequently asked questions on the face-to-face summer school website.
Many GCPS Community Schools, housed in the district’s high schools, offer summer classes, including Health and PE. Check for registration, fees, and course dates for each location on the Community Schools page.
Credit Recovery is another option for earning credit for qualifying students who previously took a course and were unsuccessful. To enroll in Credit Recovery, students must meet GCPS qualifications and have approval from their school counselor. Contact your counselor for important information if you are interested in this option. Credit Recovery is available through local schools, face-to-face summer classes, and GOC. There is no cost to participate in Credit Recovery.
