GRADING SCALE:

A = 450-500 points B = 400-449 points  C = 350-399 points  D = 300-349 points  F = 299 or fewer points 

NOTE: Because of the lack of pluses and minuses on our campus, grade levels will be adhered to strictly. High B grades are not the equivalent of A grades and will not be changed even if you are on the borderline. Your total points must be within a particular grade’s range in order for you to receive that grade. Also, the Hope Scholarship Program is determined by your overall GPA, not by any one class ~ so it is never because of ONE class that you lose Hope. Hope Scholarships are determined by grades, not vice versa (grades are not changed to keep you from losing Hope).
