SCORES
Credits for passing grades (scores) are issued at the end of the semester. Mid-term and Progress scores are to be regarded as grades in progress. A student’s Final Grade is the only score recorded on a student’s permanent record (transcript). Grades received in all classes are weighted as follows:
4.0 point scale 4.5 point scale Courses graded on 4.5 point scale
Grade point average (GPA) is calculated based on the grade earned in the courses taken. Term GPA is released at semester. Cumulative GPA is based on all semester grades earned from the 9th grade through the second semester of the 12th grade. All courses are included in determining the GPA, except those graded as a “Pass/No Pass” course.
