The Portable Assisted Study Sequence (PASS) Program offers fully accredited
high school courses that can be completed by a student semi-independently. By
completing PASS courses, a student makes up credit deficiencies, catches up
with peers, and is encouraged to continue and graduate. Each course is shipped
from Sunnyside, Washington as a fully self-contained packet. Tests are administered
locally and scored by SEMY staff. Grade reports and transcripts are issued.

Flexibility. Completion of a full semester course earns as
.5 high school credit. An advantage of PASS is that the course is divided into
five sequential units. A student can enroll in all or part of those units. This
makes it possible for migrant students to complete the balance of a high school
course they were unable to finish before moving. Students earn full or partial
credit through PASS. For more information about partial credit for migrant students
go to www.semy.org/partialcredit

Success. The PASS Program is presently utilized in nearly
30 states across the nation. Washington States program is the third largest,
shipping more than 2,000 courses to schools for completion by migrant and non-migrant
students each year. More than 60% of students enrolled in PASS courses complete
them for credit.

Authority. Funded through a Title I Migrant Education grant
by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), and administered
through the SEMY office in Sunnyside, the programs courses are accredited
by the Sunnyside School District, which issues transcripts.
