Dual Enrollment Information

GRADING POLICY FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT

  • 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 a 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 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 needing more attention by homeschoolers as they either confirm or cause questions in regard to at home grading policies.  Want more information on preparing for Standardized tests, how scores can earn you scholarship money, and how to understand how GPA can relate to test scores?  The full article is available only for our Faithful Scholars’ members….Join Faithful Scholars

TRANSCRIPT TIMING 

If you are graduating your first child expect this part of your first year to be a bit emotional and confusing.  We will guide and educate you as to the professional reasons for any suggestions made.

If you have a hard deadline to meet please allow at least 3 weeks to complete the transcript process OR expedite your transcript ($50) AND email me AND maintain a steady contact until your transcript has been completed/received/finalized.

We handle each student’s transcript as an individual school which means a lot of attention to details as we build a professional and strong reading transcript.  Want to read more….the full article is available for Faithful Scholars’ members only.  Join Faithful Scholars
