Credit Determination
To receive credit in any course a student must meet both of the following criteria:
-
Earn at least five quality points for the year. (Quality points are earned from the four nine-weeks, midterm exam, and the final exam. The midterm and final each count for one-half a nine weeks. Together, they will count for one quality point.) For example, an A is worth 4 points during the nine weeks, but only 2 points on the midterm or final.
-
A student must pass either the fourth nine weeks or the final exam.
To determine a student’s GPA, the total number of quality points earned is divided by the number of courses taken. All grades for transcripts will be reported on a 4.0 scale. GPAs are not rounded.
Class Rankings
Holy Savior Menard does not report class rank. Grade distributions are available to colleges upon request through the guidance department.
College Credit
Qualified students taking courses at the college level (excluding remedial courses) in the areas of English, math, science, social studies, and foreign language will receive credit on the high school transcript as Pass/Fail (P/F). One half credit will be granted for each three hour college course. No credit will be granted for remedial courses. College credit obtained during high school must meet the requirements of the Louisiana State Department of Education Nonpublic Bulletin 741.
College courses offered at Holy Savior Menard’s campus through dual enrollment will be listed on the high school transcript as such.
Students are responsible for sending the college transcript to either HSM or to the colleges they are entering following graduation from HSM.
Credit Earned
A student receiving one unit of credit in a course will not be allowed to repeat the course. If a student needs to repeat a course, both the repeated credit and grade and the failed credit and grade will be computed as part of the student’s grade point average on the high school transcript.
