What impact will this transfer have on my GPA?
Chris Williams, Assistant Principal for Academics
Grades and GPAs from a previous school remain on a student's transcript from that school; we do not recalculate their GPA but rather offer a fresh start. Our office keeps a copy of transcripts on file for future college applications at which point original, official transcripts from each school attended are submitted.
De Smet Jesuit uses a 10-point grading scale with an additional .5 point weight for grades in the top three percent of each 10-point bracket (e.g., a B+ for 87-89% earns 3.5 points) and an additional .5 point weight for honors courses (e.g., an A in a honors class earns 4.5 points) and 1 point weight for college credit & select honors courses (e.g., an A in a college credit class earns 5 points)
