Is the grading system in Guided Studies classes the same as that in regular academic classes?
The grading system in Guided Studies classes differs from the system of A-F used in regular academic classes. Although the grade scale for grades above 70 remain the same (i.e. A = 90-100, B = 80-89, C = 70-79), grades below 70 are handled differently. No D is given in any GUST class. In reading classes where the student is taking the course for the first time, an IP (In Progress) grade is given if the students final grade is below 70. The student must re-take the class if he/she does not re-take and pass the reading section of the TASP in the meantime. Students re-taking a reading course who do not make a final grade above 70 receive a grade of F. In study skills, students making a final grade below 70 receive a grade of F. The course does not have to be re-taken.
