Dual Enrollment

Grading Policy

• Colleges apply letter grades rather than numerical grades.  Faithful Scholars and most other transcript-producing entities convert the letter grade to a numerical grade by selecting the “Middle Number”.  For our SC 10 Point SCUGP Scale, that means that an “A” becomes 95%.  In some cases, this may cost your student a few points but in others, it might gain him/her a few points.   Over the years we have tracked the outcome and it is a wash in the majority of cases.  Remember that all of our dual credit students receive the same conversion, so you are playing on a level playing field.
• Note that your child’s dual credit grades should balance with the grades they are receiving at home and in other programs.  If they are markedly different, please be prepared to support your grading policies.  These are either huge red flags or green lights when applying to colleges.
• Standardized test scores are another area that needs more attention. It can be confusing to understand at-home grading policies.  Want more information on preparing for standardized tests whose scores can earn you scholarship money? Curious how GPA can relate to test scores?  

OUR GOAL: To educate and guide you in your role of administrator while supporting and encouraging you in your role of parent-educator.  We love what we do and we do what we love with attention to your individualized needs.

• College transcripts must be emailed annually by or before June 10th.
• Dual enrollment credit will be awarded for academic core classes. These are typically courses that can be transferred from one college to another for credit such as math, English, computer science, psychology, etc.
• Remedial courses such as Math 032, Eng 031, etc at York Tech, will be assigned College Prep credit.
