How Career GPAs & Credits Are Calculated<br />

Full Year Course<br />

The entered weight will be divided by the number of credit columns. For example, if<br />

there are two credit columns a full year course with a weight of 1 will only be awarded<br />

a weight of .50.<br />

Semester & Quarter Courses<br />

These courses will be awarded their full entered weight for a grade in any credit column.<br />

There shouldn't be a grade in more than one credit column for these courses. Once<br />

weight has been awarded, no further credit columns will even be looked at.<br />

In a temporary updating, the entered weight will be multiplied by the percent that you<br />

have entered for each type of course. For example, if you are doing a temporary updating<br />

using the MIDYEAR grade column, you may have entered 50 percent for how to weight<br />

your full year courses. Consequently, a full year course with a weight of 5 will in fact<br />

be weighted 2.5.<br />

After weight has been awarded according to the above criteria, the OVR column in the<br />

student's transcript is examined for each course. The following codes may be entered for<br />

each course in a student's transcript with the View/Change/Add/Drop program:<br />

A code of 1 will cause a course to be skipped while a code of 2 will cause the previously<br />

awarded weight to be cut in half.<br />
