One Course Half Credit — A Half-Credit High School Course Through an Accredited School

$165 — One-time payment for a single half-credit course through Alta Independent, a Cognia-accredited online high school.

One Course Half Credit is for students who need a half-credit course — semester-length coursework for elective recovery, graduation gap-filling, or subject-specific exploration. A unique option for students who don’t need a full-credit commitment.

What’s included:

  • One half-credit course of your choice from Alta’s catalog
  • 24/7 Access to Coursework
  • 24/7 Access to Student Portal
  • 24/7 Access to Parent Portal
  • Live Chat Support 8 AM–4 PM MT, M-F
  • Weekly Progress Report
  • Monitor Messages Included
  • Weekly Report for Parents
  • Course completion documented on an official Alta transcript

How it works:

You enroll, pay once, and pick your course. You have 6 months to complete the half-credit course at your own pace. When you finish, your completion is documented on an official Alta transcript you can send to your home school, district, or another institution.

Considering more?

You can step up to One Course Full Credit for $315, or if you’re weighing whether to take additional courses, Core Path ($225/month) gives you full access to Alta’s catalog with up to six courses at one time — often a better value if you’re planning to take more than one course or credit.

Who it’s for:

One Course Half Credit is ideal for students recovering a single half-credit on their transcript, homeschool students filling a specific elective requirement, or students testing Alta’s platform before committing to more coursework.

Accreditation: Alta Independent is accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) through Cognia. Credits earned at Alta are issued on official Alta transcripts and are recognized by other accredited schools, colleges, and universities.
