If my school uses H+,H, and H- for a 90-100% in honors and AP classes, how do I enter those grades? (For any honors/AP’s at my school it goes H, A, B, C, etc., while regular classes just go A, B, C, etc.). Show I adjust the honors grades to fit the traditional scale even though that’s not how it appears on my transcript?
Please enter your grade as it appears on your transcript, do not attempt to adjust your grades. “H” is an option on the drop-down in the Self-Report section.
If you have further questions about this, feel free to give our office a call! 412-624-7488.

The “H” option the drop-down gives me just says “H (international)” which does not seem to apply to what the H on my transcript is. Also, there are no “H-” or “H+” options. What do I do about those grades?
@cpcn27, Is it possible that “H” is indicating the course level and that you have a separate grade for that course (A-F or 1-100) on the transcript? If not, could you send a screenshot of that second of your transcript to our Direct Message inbox here so we can assist you?
If you have absolutely no A-F letter grade or number/percentage grades, you may want to send your transcript rather than completing the Self Report so that our staff can see your transcript exactly as the school reports it.
