How Career GPAs & Credits Are Calculated
Once the adjusted quality points have been calculated, weight will be applied to the
course depending upon how your criteria says courses should be weighted. This weight
will be pro-rated if you have selected to do so. In this example, weights are used but they
are NOT pro-rated.
The adjusted quality points for each course is then multiplied by the weight of the course
to give the total quality points for each course.
The total adjusted quality points for each course will be added together to produce the
Grand Total Adjusted Quality Points. The weights for each course will be added
together to produce the Grand Total Weight. These totals will then be added to students'
old career adjusted quality points and weight to produce their new updated career
adjusted quality points and weight.
The simple quality points and simple GPA is simultaneously calculated. It is done the
exact same way as the adjusted quality points and adjusted GPA are calculated except
that the step adding the GPA factor to the awarded quality points is omitted:
SUBJECT GRADE = QUAL x WEIGHT = SIMPLE
QUAL
Math A = 4.00 x 1.00 = 4.00
English F = 0.00 x 1.00 = 0.00
AP History B = 3.00 x 1.00 = 3.00

GYM C = 2.00 x 0.50 = 1.00
Grand Totals 3.50 8.00
Note that the adjusted quality points were 9.00 while the simple quality points are 8.00.
DETAILED EXAMPLE OF A MIDYEAR UPDATING
When an updating is done, a detailed report may optionally be printed. This detailed
report shows grade by grade how the computer updated a student's career credits, quality
points and weight.
This section will analyze and explain the detailed report produced for the updating of a
student based on his MIDYEAR grades. This updating is being done half-way through
this student's senior year.
