Grading

Passing a Level
You will receive a grade in all of your classes. Your grade will be shown as a
percentage. The chart below shows how the percentage grade relates to a letter
grade:

Grading Conversion
95-100% = A
90-94% = B+

87-89% = B
83-86% = C+

79-82% = C
75-78% = D+
70-74% = D

0-69% = F
At the end of the session, the grades for all of your classes will be averaged to give you
a final overall percentage for the level. To pass a level you must receive a minimum 70%
in SSP or LS. EAP students must also receive a minimum 70% in Reading and Writing
class. All students must also receive an overall Grade Point Average average of 79%
for the level in order to pass. On the final Friday of each session, you will meet with your
teachers to review your grades, receive your report card and get advice on further study.
It is very important that you meet with your teachers on final Friday. Your teacher will not
be available to discuss your grade report after final Friday.

Your report card will include
