Grading & GPA Weight Scales

Weighted Exemption Policy (WEP)

Red Lion Area Senior High School has implemented a Weighted Exemption Policy (WEP) in an effort to encourage students to take classes of interest without having these classes negatively impact their Weighted Grade Point Average, which is used to calculate class rank. Students are only permitted to apply for 2 WEP credits – one their junior year and one their senior year. Students who apply for a WEP will still have all of their classes count toward their Un-Weighted Grade Point Average, which is listed on a student’s academic transcript.

Any student interested in utilizing the WEP should pick up an application with additional information in the counseling office or schedule an appointment with his/her counselor. Students must turn in completed WEP applications to the counseling office within the first five days of the start of the course they wish to exempt from WGPA.
