(iv) Performance or portfolios; or
(v) Other methods independent of instructional time and credit hours;
(c) Determine the qualifying score or grade, the minimum of which should not exceed eighty percent (80%), that a student must earn in order to receive a pass and earn credit for a course.
(2) If a student earns credit under this section, then the student shall be counted as having completed all required coursework for that course and, if applicable, the prerequisite requirements that the course satisfies. A course for which a student is awarded credit under this section shall also be counted as satisfying the equivalent number of credits toward the student’s graduation requirements.
(3) If credit is earned under this section, a student may not subsequently receive credit for a course earlier in the course sequence in the same subject area.
