We publish only what we can cite to a primary source. These fields are still being verified for Wyoming, and they are listed rather than filled in with something plausible.

• Credit value
• Instructional-hour rule
• Who may teach it
• State course codes
• Funding a district may cite

Facts on this page last verified 2026-08-09; every pack is re-verified on a six-month cadence, and anything we cannot cite is marked rather than guessed.

The district awards the credit — no platform can. Ours is designed to align with the state’s learning standards, and it produces the documentation a district needs to award credit: the course object with its federal course code, a pass determination that shows its arithmetic, an hour ledger that counts only observed instructional minutes, and a verified record of demonstrated mastery for every student.
