Credit for Sports

(Updated Sept. 8, 2020)

Per OUSD policy, students are able to earn Physical Education or elective credit for participation in athletics. Please note: All 9th grade students are required to take P.E. 

Guidelines

  • Students may earn P.E. or elective credit for participating in an approved Oakland Athletic League sport and/or the following Tech Club Sports — ice hockey, lacrosse, rowing, ultimate frisbee and mountain biking — during the school year.
  • Students may earn 5 credits per sport/season up to a maximum of 15 credits.
  • Coaches must verify student participation throughout the season in both practices and contests, and student-athletes must have maintained eligibility throughout. (Contact Tech’s Athletic Director, Jim Coplan, with any questions)
  • Counselors are provided team rosters showing students who are eligible for credit. Students will then receive their credit automatically. (Unlike Tech’s previous policy, students are not required to write an essay nor pass physical fitness and swim tests.)

If you have any questions, please contact a school administrator or counselor.
