Every course is credit recovery, taught by a real teacher of record and awarded by a Cognia-accredited Program School.

That sentence is at the top of every page we publish, so it should be easy to check. This page is the detail behind it: how we operate, who awards your credit, and what their accreditation actually means.
How we operate
RecoverCredits.com is a technology and instruction company. We build the platform, write the curriculum and employ the teachers. What we cannot do is award credit — awarding credit requires accreditation, and accreditation belongs to a school.
So we partner with accredited Program Schools. They authorize our teachers to teach their classes, and they award the credit under their own accreditation. Here is what that looks like end to end.
Before a class runs, the Program School approves the teacher of record who will deliver it. That teacher grades student work and answers questions — the instruction happens under the school’s authorization, not independently of it.
We write the curriculum, host the coursework, run enrollment and billing, and provide support. Every Program School we work with teaches our curriculum, so the course is the same wherever the credit is issued from.
Final exams are proctored digitally so the work being credited is verifiably the student’s own. One attempt is included each month; additional attempts in the same month are $50.
On completion, the Program School issues the credit under its accreditation and records it against its own ledger of credits issued. The credit is theirs, not ours.
Program Schools authorize us to produce transcripts on their behalf, so the transcript is fully formal through the issuing school. If credits come from more than one Program School, we roll them into a single transcript that still shows the origin of each credit. Each school retains its own copy of record, and sending is always free.

Credit acceptance is ultimately determined by your receiving school or district. Where a credit will not be accepted, your enrollment is refunded automatically.
Accreditation
Accreditation is the whole reason a credit transfers, so it is worth knowing what is behind the word.
