[Counselors] Getting a credit for failed course

Fri Feb 26 10:52:52 CST 2016

Good morning, First I want to say I enjoying reading the streaming of the questions and answers from this connection.
Tulsa Public Schools let their students use their passing EOI to # out the courses F. It is a great tool for our students and I am happy TPS is following the States recommendation on school districts ability to use this. I do believe it has helped with our dropout rate from climbing higher.

If we have a student that fails the class and passes the EOI then we give them credit for the class.

In Shawnee if a student fails one or both semester of an EOI course but passes the EOI we post a P on the transcript for the course. It does not
replace the F but gives the student the credit for the course and counts towards graduation requirements. The F stays on the transcript.

FYI
>From Lisa Nelson:  Remember if an OK Promise student has a "P" on their transcript for a core class, OK Promise will count it as a "D".  This is what I share at the retreats:
For purposes of calculating the GPA for the 17-unit core curriculum, all courses except fine arts or speech, that are transcript with a P shall be assigned a grade level of D or the lowest passing grade assigned by the high school.
If no grade is given or if the grade is a Pass, then OK Promise averages it in as a "D".  They use the NCAA policy as their standard.  It is the only standard they could find and the law requires them to figure a GPA on the required core and the overall.
