Transcripts A transcript is an official record of all course grades or scholastic achievement. Transcripts are forwarded to colleges and universities upon request. Transcripts will not be issued if there are any outstanding fees owed. Transcript request forms are available at the front desk or in the Guidance office. Upon graduation, the student will receive official transcripts once all accounts are clear. Transcripts cannot be accessed on Renweb.
Academic Standards Credit Credit is a term used to indicate the number of units earned by passing a class. Most classes grant 1 unit or credit per semester when the student earns a passing grade of 60% or better.
Grade Point Average (GPA) Report cards and transcripts take into account two grade point scales. The computation of each is slightly different and each serves a different purpose. ● The unweighted grade point average (GPA) includes grades reported on a 4.0 scale. Each grade is multiplied by the number of course credits. These products are added. This sum is divided by the total number of credits to calculate the GPA. This is not reported on the transcript until the end of the semester. ● The weighted GPA takes into account the different levels of Dual Credit and Advanced Placement classes. These courses are given an additional 1.0 in the GPA formula but the letter grade remains the same (i.e., A remains an A but receives 5.0 weighting, a B remains a B but receives 4.0 weighting, a C remains a C but receives a 3.0). Students desiring to receive the GPA bump for an AP course must take the AP exam for that course. However, D's and F's do not receive weighting. The basic formula described above in calculating GPA remains the same ● The letter grade indicates the degree of student mastery in meeting these objectives with the same standards applying in all sections of a given course. All grades are possible in any given class; any grade distribution is possible within a given class. ● Grade point averages are not reflected in the following non-academic classes: Service, Office or Teacher Aide, and Study Lab. These classes do not reflect credit toward graduation. Most colleges will not include these courses in their GPA calculations.
