Academic Policies and Study Skills
Semester grades are the grades that are on a student's transcript. These are the grades that colleges will see and use (among other things) to determine whether or not a student will be accepted into the school
Most semester grades are calculated:
40% first quarter
40% second quarter
20% semester final exam
Conduct does not show up on a student's transcript, however, college recommendation forms ask about conduct, academic integrity and suspensions.
Conduct is as follows:
E (exemplary) = 0 demerits for the quarter
S (satisfactory) = 1-4 demerits for the quarter
N (needs improvement) = 5-8 demerits for the quarter
U (unsatisfactory) = >9 demerits for the quarter
