There are different grading systems for credit and noncredit courses. Please note the appropriate system for your course. If you are unsure as to which system your course follows, please contact Program Support Services.

Credit Courses

Virtual High School of Excellence uses a numerical grading system.

Numerical grades may be considered equivalent to letter grades as follows:
 

• 90 – 100 A
• 80 – 89 B
• 70 – 79 C
• 60 – 69 D
• 59 and below F

When students successfully complete a Virtual High School of Excellence Online Learning course, the grade and the number of credits earned are recorded on an official Virtual High School of Excellence transcript.
 

No. If you've taken the final, or submitted the final assignment before the expiration date, then you don't have to be concerned about having your final grade recorded before your expiration date.
 

Your final grade will be available within one week after you have completed the course and all its coursework.  For all other courses, Program Support Services will notify you by letter of your final course grade after you have completed and submitted all the assignments (including exams) for your course. This letter is not an official record. You should allow at least three weeks between the completion of the final assignment or exam and the recording of the credit grade on an official Virtual High School of Excellence transcript. Although Program Support Services will make every effort to minimize this time period, we cannot guarantee the recording of a grade by a specific date.
 

If you need to finish a class by a set date, we recommend that you inform your instructor when you submit your first assignment. Your instructor will make every effort to work with you to meet your deadline. Please note the following:

• There is a minimum two month completion time for online learning courses.
• Instructors have 10-14 days to return assignments submitted by mail, 5-7 days for assignments submitted by fax or e-mail, and 72 hours for assignments uploaded to the server..
• There may be delays around holidays, during summer break, and the last two weeks of the quarter.
• For credit courses, you should allow at least three weeks between the completion of the final assignment or exam and the recording of your grade on an official Virtual High School of Excellence transcript.
