Grades
Courses
Add and manage high school courses for transcript generation.
Last updated August 31, 2026
Courses are the building blocks of your student's transcript. Add courses to track credits, grades, and academic progress.
Grades live on courses and one-off activities — not recurring ones. A grade entered on a repeating activity would count once per session and inflate GPA and credits, so grade tracking is disabled on recurring activities and their grade data is excluded from GPA and transcripts. See Recurring activities.

GPA Calculation
GPA is calculated automatically based on:
- Course grades (converted to grade points)
- Credit hours (weighted)
Standard 4.0 scale with plus/minus steps:
| Grade | Points | Grade | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ / A | 4.0 | C+ | 2.3 |
| A− | 3.7 | C | 2.0 |
| B+ | 3.3 | C− | 1.7 |
| B | 3.0 | D+ | 1.3 |
| B− | 2.7 | D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 | D− | 0.7 |
P (Pass) grades are excluded from GPA entirely — the course still earns its credits, but it neither helps nor hurts the average.
Weighted GPA: courses marked Honors (+0.5), AP (+1.0), or Dual Enrollment (+1.0) earn bonus grade points, capped at 5.0. Transcripts can show both weighted and unweighted GPA.
