In order to remain enrolled at ANC or to advance to the grade above, 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.
Weighted Average
At ANC we offer a wide variety of courses at different levels of difficulty. Accordingly, accelerated and honors courses weight a student's grade point average differently than regular courses.
A student's weighted average is calculated by adding the appropriate number of difficulty points to each grade and then multiplying each grade by the course's earned credit value, and then dividing that total by the student's total credits. For example, if a student takes six courses each rated as regular difficulty and worth 4 points and earns the following grades (83, 97, 91, 76, 85, 88), her weighted average would be: (83 x 4) + (97 x 4) + (91 x 4) + (76 x 4) + (85 x 4) + (88 x 4) or 86.67.
Grades are weighted differently depending on the difficulty of a course. For regular courses, no points are added to the weighted average grade. For accelerated courses, 3.33 points are added to the weighted average grade. For honors courses, 6.67 points are added to the weighted average grade.
