As a courtesy to our students, the final high school transcript lists both the TN HOPE grade point average and the 10 point scale cumulative average.
All grades earned in high school courses are a permanent part of the high school transcript. Grades are never removed from transcripts. For purposes of the HOPE Scholarship Eligibility Grade Point Average, a student may repeat any failed course, and the failing grade for the first attempt will be exempt in the HOPE Scholarship Eligibility Grade Point Average calculation.
