If you have one semester or more of high school work from an accredited school other than TTUISD High School, you will receive a Summary of Credits from TTUISD showing courses and credits earned from your previous school. Letter grades from other schools will be converted as follows:

A+ = 100	B+ = 89	C+ = 79	D+ = 74
A = 95	B = 85	C = 77	D = 72
A- = 92	B- = 82	C- = 75	D -= 70

You will receive a number grade at the completion of the course. All courses are graded using a numerical grading scale that conforms to the following letter grades:

90-100	A
80-89	B
75-79	C
70-74	D
69 and below	F

Dual-credit courses are graded according to the Texas Tech University grading system and converted to the middle school/high school system:

Texas Tech University	TTUISD MS/TTUISD HS
A	95
B	85
C	77
D	72
F	69

Honors credit will be given for all dual-credit courses and honors credit can be transferred from accredited schools in the core subject areas of English, math, science, and history.

If you pass the final with at least 70% mastery (refer to your Course Guide for specific information on how the final grade for a course is computed), your lesson assignments count for 75% of your final grade and your final examination grade counts for 25%. However, you must pass the final in order to pass the course. If you fail the final exam, then you fail the course. If you pass the final examination but have a low enough assignment average, the result of the course is a failing grade. Please note: Dual credit course grading is at the discretion of TTU instructors and may differ; refer to your Course Guide for more information.

Students receive a grade report for each completed subject. Once your instructor files your grade with TTUISD, it becomes final. Only completed courses are reported and recorded; there is no academic penalty for failure to complete a course(s).

Please note: A grade of 70-74 is passing but counts as a D with 1.0 grade point when calculating the grade point average.

A TTUISD student's grade point average is computed by using the following guidelines:

1. All accredited courses taken by a student which apply to graduation will be used to compute the GPA.
2. The following points will be assigned to each numerical grade:
   
   

   Numerical Grade	Regular Course Points	Honors, AP and Dual-credit Course Points
   90-100	4	5
   80-89	3	4
   75-79	2	3
   70-74	1	2
   0-69	0	0

   
   
3. All grades transferred to TTUISD from another accredited school will be used in computing the final GPA. If a student has failed a course, the student may take the course again with TTUISD in order to earn credit for the course. Both the failing grade and the passing grade will be used to compute the GPA.
4. All course grades received through Credit by Examination (CBE) will be computed in the GPA unless the student takes the full course to replace the CBE grade.
5. All courses passed or failed while a student is enrolled in TTUISD will be recorded on the student's transcript and will be used in computing the student's GPA. However, a student may replace a failing grade received on a TTUISD course or CBE by retaking the CBE, or by repeating the course.
6. For elementary students, grading procedures can be found in the curriculum guide.

If you are a full-time TTUISD student and you make a low grade on a CBE or full course taken through TTUISD, you can replace the low or failing grade by taking a CBE or repeating the course. The highest grade will be recorded on the transcript. The grade to be replaced must be from a course taken at TTUISD. Grades that come from another school may not be replaced.
