Each final grade you receive in a high school or dually enrolled CP class earns points based on the numerical grade earned. Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is the average of those points.
CPCC Courses - In general, the transferable courses (those included in the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Fine Arts, and Associate in Engineering) that are 3 credit hours or more, will earn one weighted quality point (similar to an AP course).
The majority of courses for the Associate in Applied Science degrees will be standard (unweighted) courses
To determine unweighted GPA: Divide the total unweighted quality points earned by total earned credits.
To determine unweighted GPA: Divide the total weighted quality points earned by total earned credits.
Things to Remember:
Things to Remember:
GPA is cumulative. Every class you take in high school is included. There is no single semester or single year GPA.
Middle school classes taken for high school credit do not impact GPA.
Only final grades are calculated into GPA. Quarter grades do not count.
Each student earns an unweighted and weighted GPA . Unweighted GPA averages all grades on a 4 point scale. Weighted GPA takes into account the rigor of honors, AP, and dual enrollment courses. See the chart above for point values.
Both weighted and unweighted GPA are reflected on your transcript after first semester of 9th grade.
Your unweighted GPA (min 2.8) is looked at for continued eligibility in the CPEC program
Most colleges will look at your weighed GPA.
