  4. COURSE CREDITS • You must have accumulated 28 course credits to graduate. • Each class that you take and pass, you get one course credit. • If you do not pass a class, you do not get credit for the class…

  5. Let’s add it up… • Each year has 2 semesters… • Each semester you take 4 classes* • So, 2 semesters x 4 classes each = 8 total courses per year • There are 4 years of high school, so 8 classes per year x 4 years = 32 credits • If you pass all of your classes, you will have 32 credits when you graduate…

  12. GPA & CLASS RANK • Rank is established at the end of each school year. Final rank includes all courses attempted in HS GPA (Grade Point Average) A+ (98-100) = 4.0 points A (93-97) = 4.0 points B (85-92) = 3.0 points C (77-84) = 2.0 points D (70-76) = 1.0 points F (below 70) = 0 points

  13. EXAMPLE... • A student made the following gradesafter her first year of high school: • A, B, A, A, B, C, B, A (letter grades) • 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 3, 4 (points per unit) • 4+3+4+4+3+2+3+4 = 27 points total • to get her GPA for that year, divide the total number of points by the number of classes: • 27 divided by 8 = 3.375 GPA

  14. WEIGHTED COURSES • Honors and Advanced Placement Classes get extra points when calculating GPA. • The typical rule is that Honors courses get 1 additional point and AP courses get 2 additional points.

  15. Special Programs & Courses • Advanced Placement Program (AP) • N.C. Virtual Public Schools (NCVPS) • The Lyceum Academy • Marine Science Academy • International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme • UNCW Advanced Study • N.C. Career & College Promise

  17. High School Registration • The high school registration process will be done using paper/pencil (and eventually Power School) this year for all 4 high schools. • Today, I will provide you with a Course Curriculum Guide & school specific course information (LHS, JTH, NHHS & AHS) based on your district school for next year. • I encourage you to start thinking about which electives you would like to take in 9th grade (as well as alternates) by using the Student Registration Worksheet provided today. • Teachers will compile their recommendations for your core academic classes, based on your performance in their classes this year. • Turn your Student Registration Worksheet in by Friday, February 28 to me (Mrs. Demolina) • A list of academic and elective classes will then be printed for each of you to take home (based on teacher recommendations and your elective choices), to discuss with your parents, and to send back with parent signatures if everything looks okay.
