To Pass a full year course, you must receive at least 3 passing grades of the five offered during the year.
Those Grades are the four - 9 week grades and the one final exam.
for example;
| 1st 9 wks | 2nd 9 wks | 3rd 9 wks | 4th 9 wks | Final Exam | Final Grade |
| D | D | F | F | D | D |
To earn a grade of C for the year, you must receive at least 3 passing grades worth at least 7 points.
A = 4 pts, B = 3 pts, C= 2 pts, D = 1 point, and an F = 0pts
since the final exam is worth 1/9 of your total grade, the exam points are divided by 2 before adding the 5 grades together.
for example, the minimum for receiving a grade of C would be:
| 1st 9 wks | 2nd 9 wks | 3rd 9 wks | 4th 9 wks | Final Exam | Final Grade |
| C | C | D | D | C | C |
| 2 + | 2 + | 1 + | 1 + | 1 = | 7 |
To earn a grade of B for the year, you must receive at least 3 passing grades worth at least 11.5 points.
A = 4 pts, B = 3 pts, C= 2 pts, D = 1 point, and an F = 0pts
since the final exam is worth 1/9 of your total grade, the exam points are divided by 2 before adding the 5 grades together.
for example, The minimum for receiving a grade of B would be:
| 1st 9 wks | 2nd 9 wks | 3rd 9 wks | 4th 9 wks | Final Exam | Final Grade |
| B | B | C | C | B | B |
| 3 + | 3 + | 2 + | 2 + | 1.5 = | 11.5 |
To earn a grade of A for the year, you must receive at least 3 passing grades worth at least 16 points.
A = 4 pts, B = 3 pts, C= 2 pts, D = 1 point, and an F = 0pts
since the final exam is worth 1/9 of your total grade, the exam points are divided by 2 before adding the 5 grades together.
for example, The minimum for receiving a grade of A would be:
| 1st 9 wks | 2nd 9 wks | 3rd 9 wks | 4th 9 wks | Final Exam | Final Grade |
| A | A | B | B | A | A |
| 4 + | 4 + | 3 + | 3 + | 2 = | 16 |
other examples;
| 1st 9 wks | 2nd 9 wks | 3rd 9 wks | 4th 9 wks | Final Exam | Final Grade |
| C | F | C | F | C | D |
| 2 + | 0 + | 2 + | 0 + | 1 = | 5 |
Remember, the final exam counts as 1/9 of your total so divide the C (2 pts) on the final by 2 before you add.
The final exam grade is only worth 1/2 of a 9 wks grade or 1/9 of your total grade.
| 1st 9 wks | 2nd 9 wks | 3rd 9 wks | 4th 9 wks | Final Exam | Final Grade |
| F | A | F | A | F | F |
| 0 + | 4 + | 0 + | 4 + | 0 = | 8 |
Remember, you must pass at least 3 of the 5 grades to pass for the year
| 1st 9 wks | 2nd 9 wks | 3rd 9 wks | 4th 9 wks | Final Exam | Final Grade |
| A | F | D | C | A | C |
| 4 + | 0 + | 1 + | 0 + | 2 = | 7 |
