• Students who register for more than 30 credit hours will be responsible to pay for the entire course that placed them over the 30 credit limit.

If the student is over the 30 credit hours, the school may inform the student of the option to drop the course before the census date or continue with the course as a “self-pay” student at the regular tuition rate. It is the responsibility of the student to monitor their credits when registering for courses.

Financial obligation to students and parents for incomplete credit (i.e. missing the formal drop deadline, non-attendance reasons, or course failure) are listed below:
NOTE: Subject to change after publishing the PHS Course Guide. Students should notify their school counselor in a timely manner if interested in registering for CCP courses. Estimates below are based on 2024-25 local CCP information.
