Purpose of the Course

Welcome to Success Academy’s Edgenuity program.  Our program is an online program, Georgia Standards based, designed to help you recover your academic credits from courses you have failed or are missing. It also allows transfer students to get on track academically. You can find the course content in your course map page on the right side.  The program is self paced, which means there are certain assignments that have to be completed each day in order to stay on-target; however, you are not limited to just doing those assignments. You can certainly work to get ahead.  If you are not on-target, you should work at home if you are falling behind or to get ahead.  From home, go to this website – https://auth.edgenuity.com/Login/SAML/Student/GLYNNCO and log in as if you are logging into the computer at school. You can go to the school’s website and under the student’s tab select Edgenuity. You can always work in your Edgenuity classes at home and review lessons and work on assignments. If you want to take quizzes at home, you must ask your teacher to set it where you can take your quizzes at home. You can work on everything at home except for topic/unit tests and cumulative exams. You should check your progress on a daily basis.  A red bar indicates that you are behind.  A blue bar indicates that you are on task.  Finally, a green bar indicates that you are ahead. 

Evaluation Procedures

  If you are taking this class as a credit recovery and as an initial credit and successfully complete all the required content (lessons, assignments, quizzes, tests, essays, etc.) earning at least a 70% in the class, you will receive credit for the course.
