transcribe the letter grade to

scale.
A = 95 B = 85 C = 77
D = 72 F = 55
 Georgia End of Course Test
(EOCT) required for a
college course (ie.
Economics)? The student
must test at Norcross! See
website for details! The
EOCT counts 20% and is
factored in to the grade
awarded by the college.
 Failing a Dual Enrollment
class may jeopardize
graduation!
 EXCEPTION– Ten (10)
points added to Georgia
Tech’s Calculus II class
 All (passed or failed)Dual
Enrollment classes are
included on the high school
transcript.
