Students must have at least 30 hours of GRADED (receiving a letter grade, not S) course work per semester. Students who receive an INC, U, or F in any class that semester are not eligible.

Academic Letter: Due to pandemic grading during the spring of 2020, for situations where

consecutive grading periods are required, the fall semester of 2019 and the fall semester of 2020 will be considered consecutive semesters. Students need 2 consecutive semesters (4 quarters) of a 4.0, or better,

weighted G.P.A. The G.P.A. is based on grades from those individual semesters, not a student’s cumulative G.P.A. Students must have at least 30 hours of GRADED (receiving a letter grade, not S) course work per semester.

Students who receive an INC, U, or F in any class that semester are not eligible.

Academic Pins 1 and 2:

Same requirements as the academic letter for another FULL school year. This does not have to be in two consecutive years. For example…may earn letter for work during your freshman year and pin for work during junior year.
