Grading Standards for High School Teachers

Face-to-face high school teachers will submit each concurrent enrollment student's final letter grade into Badger Web within one week of the class's conclusion. The grade entered in Badger Web should reflect the cumulative letter grade for all course work across all terms and should follow the Snow College recommended grading scheme below.

Snow College Recommended Grading Scheme
Any changes to the grading scheme must be approved by the department chair.
Letter Grade Percentile Range Grade Points
A 94 to 100% 4.0
A- 90 to <94% 3.7
B+ 87 to <90% 3.3
B 84 to <87% 3.0
B- 80 to <84% 2.7
C+ 77 to <80% 2.3
C 74 to <77% 2.0
C- 70 to <74% 1.7
D+ 67 to <70% 1.3
D 64 to <67% 1.0
D- 60 to <64% 0.7
F 0 to <60% 0.0

Below are three examples of how a student's final Snow College grade can be calculated to reflect the cumulative letter grade for all course work across all terms.

Example: Grade for a 4-Term Course with Unequal Points Each Term
Term Points Possible
(unequal amounts)		 Points Collected Percentile Grade High School Letter Grade
Term 1 200 180 90% A-
Term 2 250 200 80% B-
Term 3 250 220 88% B+
Term 4 300 270 90% A-
Cumulative Grade = sum of all points collected
total points possible
= (180+200+220+270)
(200+250+250+300)		 = 870
1000		 = 87%
Cumulative Grade = 87%

Grade entered into Badger Web: B+

Example: Grade for a 4-Term Course with Equal Points Each Term
Term Points
Possible		 Percentile Grade High School Letter Grade
Term 1 Equal points
for each term		 84% B
Term 2 92% A-
Term 3 87% B+
Term 4 76% C
Cumulative Grade = sum of percentile grade
# of terms
= 84%+92%+87%+76%
4		 = 339%
4		 = 84.75%
Cumulative Grade = 84.75%

Grade entered into Badger Web: B

Example: Grade for a 2-Term Course with Equal Points Each Term
Term Points
Possible		 Percentile Grade High School Letter Grade
Term 1 Equal points
for each term		 89% B+
Term 2 77% C+
Cumulative Grade = sum of percentile grade
# of terms
= 89%+77%
2		 = 166%
2		 = 83%
Cumulative Grade = 83%

Grade entered into Badger Web: B-
