GRADING POLICIES

Report cards with progress grades are issued every six (6) weeks.  A semester consists of three (3) 6-week grading periods.  Semester grades are posted on a student’s permanent record (transcript).  

 
The grading scale is as follows:
 
90% - 100% A
80% - 89% B
70% - 79% C
60% - 69% D
0% - 59% F
 
  • Credit is granted for successful completion of each class at the end of the semester.  
  • Credits are granted with passing grades: A, B, C, or D.  
  • Credit is not granted for grades of F, I (Incomplete) or W/F (withdrawal with the grade of F).  
  • Course work must be completed by the end of the semester following the semester in which the I (Incomplete) is posted.
  • If a grade is not assigned for the Incomplete within the next semester, a grade of F will be assigned.
  • If a course is repeated, the higher grade will be recorded and computed in the student’s grade point average (GPA); however the F remains on the transcript.  
  • Duplicate credit will not be granted for a course that is repeated.
  • Dual credit (courses taken at Central New Mexico Community College/University of New Mexico/Institute 
  • of American Indian Arts) grades are included on the transcript and calculated in the GPA.  
  • It is a state requirement that dual credit grades be posted on the high school transcript.
