<p>I'm currently taking a credit course over the summer to accelerate past a course at my high school. I was wondering (since it is for credits) whether this is included in my GPA. I have also completed a similar course in a different subject last year (it was online), and was similarly wondering whether the grade was included in the GPA calculations.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Yes, it is. As long as the course is accredited by your school board, it's good to go for your GPA. If you fail it, your GPA goes down with it.</p>
<p>Ok, so does that mean if it is equivalent to an honors course which is included in the weighted and unweighted GPA. Also, say I took seven courses this year and received 2 B's(sorry I really dont too much about my school grading), but also have taken a summer course the previous year which is included in this years 'transcripts and received an A. Do you have any idea what my unweighted might be. </p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>
<p>So you have 8 courses and 6 of them are As</p>
<p>6<em>4 + 2</em>3 = 30
30/8 = 3.75 unweighted</p>
<p>In my district, any extra classes you take (even those during the school year) aren't supposed to affect your GPA.</p>
<p>That being said, I got lucky with a computer glitch and one of the extra college classes I took was calculated in and raised GPA ^_^</p>
<p>You'd probably be best off with consulting your school's guidance counselor. My friend did "independent study" of AP Comp. Sci. (meaning he was given a study hall and he had to self-study the material during it) where he completed all of the work and tests and all that jazz. He got an A in the class, however it was not included in his GPA calculations. A little sad for him, because it made him third in our class instead of first.</p>
<p>^ That sucks...</p>
