Curriculum Guide | Credit

In addition to the diploma and residency requirements, ANC students must meet the minimum total credit requirement for their chosen diploma track.

Credit, known as points, is awarded for each term passed in a course. The credit (i.e., the number of points a student receives for a course) is determined by the number of hours per term. A term is approximately 11 weeks long and each point represents no less than 11 hours of class time. If a student misses ten per cent or more of a course’s classes in a term (five classes), he or she may receive reduced credit.

For one-, two-, and three-year students, point requirements will be prorated to reflect course work completed while attending the Academy. One- and two-year students will receive a customized diploma status sheet once their final transcripts from their previous school have been evaluated by the Registrar.

Students must pass the required number of terms and points per discipline as well as earn an overall point requirement to graduate.

In order to remain enrolled at ANC or to advance with class, a student whose diploma is in jeopardy may be required to take a summer program of studies at an approved school. If this program is successfully completed, the faculty may approve credit. Summer school points may apply to the appropriate area quota and total points quota, but shall not be used for computing total GPA or quality points.

Credit and the Transcript

Every student's transcript will show all courses taken and grades earned in the Boys or Girls School, whether passing or failing. In cases where courses are repeated the grades and points received the second time will supersede previous grades and will be used for diploma status. Both grades will be factored in to the student's cumulative GPA.
