Grading & Credit
- Courses use the AP Grading scale. The grading scale is NOT linked to a student’s enrollment at Marymount.
- Students who enroll at Marymount for these courses may earn transferable credits from Marymount University. Many colleges and universities accept Marymount credit at their institution.
- Dual credit classes count as AP classes for the student's high school transcript. Please note the grade received in this class also goes on the student's college transcript.
- Students must take both semester exams to earn Dual Enrollment credit from Marymount.
- Most of the student’s grades will come from assessments, including a summative exam BOTH semesters worth 20% of each semester’s grade.
Office hours will be available Tuesday through Friday before school for extra help or study time.
