Policy Review Tuesday: Academic Grades *** These policies apply to classes being taught and grades applied for Malad High School credit. College concurrent enrollment classes are under the jurisdiction of the approved college syllabus. *** “F” Grades: A student may repeat a subject to improve a grade. Transcripts sent out from the school will show the historical grade and also the grade earned on the subject that was repeated. GPA will be calculated using the higher of the two grades. *** Grade Appeals: All grades can be appealed for up to two weeks after grades are posted for that semester. After the two-week period, the grades become permanent. If a student chooses to drop a class after the first two weeks they will automatically receive an “F” grade for that class and will not receive credit for the new class that they enroll in. *** Incomplete Grades: Incomplete grades must be completed no later than two weeks after a semester ends or the grade will automatically become an “F”.
