Students will be notified by mail that they have been enrolled in R.O.P. During the summer, a letter will be sent home explaining the start of R.O.P. for September. All R.O.P.s are fully accredited for high school credit as determined by the local high school. Some courses have also been approved to satisfy certain graduation requirements - approval varies with each district. All courses award credit based upon completion of course competencies, hours of attendance and passing grade. There is no cost for high school students.
Adults pay a registration fee plus the cost of their materials and textbooks.
R.O.P. does not charge tuition. Career Prep is a sequence of classes starting in the 11th grade and targeted towards attainment of an Associate Degree at Chabot College and possible continuation at a four-year college. It involves curriculum integration, applying academic skills in practical situations. It is a parallel college preparatory program coordinating instruction with a common core of math, science, communication and technologies. Adult schools offer high school diploma and GED preparation classes.
