ASU Credit
Student progress is closely monitored by G3 staff to help students achieve success in each course. However, at the end of the course, the student has the option to decide whether or not to place the course on an official ASU transcript for college credit. This allows the student to earn high school credit and attempt college credit without fear of failure! Students can choose to drop or audit the ASU course at any time. If the student chooses to finish the course and place the credits on an official ASU transcript, an additional $400 fee (set by ASU and payable directly to ASU) will apply.
