If you have any questions, please email the OKPromise office at okpromise at osrhe.edu. https://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/teachers-counselors.shtml Exception for GPA Calculation of Pass/Fail Grades for the 2020-2021 School Year High school or concurrent courses taken during the 2020-21 school year that apply to the Oklahoma's Promise high school core curriculum requirements and are assigned a grade of "pass" (or its equivalent) will not 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 2020-21 school year grades. Oklahoma's Promise students will remain subject to the minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA requirement for all courses taken in grades 9-12 as calculated by the local school district. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
