<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">For the spring 2020 semester, high school or concurrent courses that apply to the Oklahoma’s Promise high school core curriculum requirements that
are assigned a grade of “pass” (or its equivalent) will <b><u>not</u></b> be included in the grade point average (GPA) calculation for the core curriculum. While the course grade will not be included in the calculation of the core curriculum GPA, the course
will count toward the required units for the core curriculum as appropriate. Normally, for purposes of calculating the 2.50 minimum GPA for the 17-unit core curriculum, courses with grade of “pass” are assigned a letter grade of “D” or the lowest passing grade
that high school assigns to courses. Excluding a “pass” course grade from the core curriculum GPA calculation will allow an exception to this requirement for spring 2020 grades. Oklahoma’s Promise students will remain subject to the minimum 2.50 cumulative
GPA requirement for <b><u>all</u></b> courses taken in grades 9-12 as calculated by the local school district.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
