  6. Articulation Process Guidance Department will meet with students at most feeder middle schools to discuss options and process as well as distribute Course Request Forms. Private and home school students must complete registration process with the registrar. Encourage balance of challenging academics, courses of interest and extra curricular involvement. Students should get involved on our campus! Credits are earned by passing a semester of a course (yearlong for EOC courses). Students will have an official record, called a transcript, with unweighted and weighted grade point average (GPA) after the completion of one semester of a high school coursework. High school transcript is cumulative for credits and GPA. Unweighted GPA is based on all courses awarded the standard grading of: A = 4.0 B = 3.0 C = 2.0 D = 1.0 Weighted GPAis based on: Honors and honors gifted courses awarded an extra .5 for a semester grade of a C or better. A = 4.5 B = 3.5 C = 2.5 Advanced Placement and dual enrollment courses are awarded an extra 1.0 for a semester grade of C or higher. A = 5.0 B = 4.0 C = 3.0
