The program: Not all Notre Dame Students gain the degree of academic competence in a semester-long class to be fully prepared to advance to the next level of academics. The Teacher-Assisted Academic Enhancement Summer program provides the opportunity for students who scored a 65 to 75 in a supported course to take Credit Enhancement over the summer. In our Summer Academic Enhancement program, students will be signed up for an Educere course, receive teacher-supported study, and have their exam scheduled. Time on task will be closely monitored.

Student advantage: The program is designed with the goal of supporting academic success for students who received a grade of 65 to 75 in an academic class. By completing a supplemental summer course in the same subject, students will be able to better master the academic material while also having the opportunity improve the grade on the official transcript. Grades reflected on the official transcript will be calculated using the original course grade as ⅔ and the enhancement grade as ⅓.  Please be advised: The highest grade you can earn through this program is an 83.
