If you came from another school or country, your transcript from your original school needs to be evaluated by our principal, Ms. Smoot. Make sure everything is correct. Review all classes and grades Classes cannot be repeated for credit per district policy (example: 2 years of weight training). See your counselor if you have repeated a class to make sure you are on track for graduation.
Work in progress Overall GPA: All classes from 9th through 11th. It is not weighted. Cal Grant GPA: a-g classes from 10th and 11th grade. It is not weighted. No rank listed. Irvington does not rank.
Calculating your GPA Grades are assigned point values: A = 4 points B = 3 points C= 2 points NC= 0 points *”I” grades are temporary and are not factored into the GPA . • Overall GPA (non-weighted): Add all semester grades on your transcript together. Divide the total by the number of semester courses. • Weighted GPA: Same as overall GPA but add 1 extra point for each semester AP course or transferable college course to the total before dividing by the number of semester courses (individual private universities may calculate weighted GPA differently). • UC/CSU GPA: Use only grades received in “a-g” classes from 10th and 11th grade. Add an extra point for each semester AP course or transferable college course (http://www.assist.org) with a maximum of 8 extra points.
