Definition
The Portable Assisted Study Sequence (PASS) Program consists of self-contained, semi-independent study courses which enable students to earn secondary-level academic credits.

Participating students generally take these courses in order to make up courses, meet graduation requirements or cope with scheduling difficulties.

PASS courses are designed to parallel regular academic courses offered in most schools.

Each PASS course is competency- based and learner-centered, thus allowing the student to progress through five activity books and accompanying tests at his or her own pace. Because of this structure, students are able to continue course work as the move from distric to district or even to state to state.
