Grades/Transcripts

• Students receive high school credit for a dual credit course if they earn a grade of A, B, or C.
• All dual credit courses taken for high school credit will be recorded on the high school transcript as

a numerical grade and will be included in the GPA calculation as a (Honors) Level 3 course.

• Students should be aware that taking college classes concurrently while in high school results in

the establishment of a collegiate academic record and students earn a college grade point average.

• Learners must submit an official NL transcript to any institution where admission is sought.

Please Note:

• Dual Credit classes are a choice. It is the job of the

learner to stay on top of the process and dates.

• Missing deadlines or incomplete forms will not be

accepted.
