Please note that if you choose to use Advanced Opportunities for this course, it will show up on your high school transcript as a letter grade. This transcript will travel with you throughout high school and entering into college. If you fail the course, you will get a flag on your Advanced Opportunities account and your funding will be frozen, you will need to pay for another overload (high school level) course before your funding can be used again.
