All courses taken will be included in the GPA calculation; however, only AP, IB, and Dual/Concurrent college courses 1000-level and above will be weighted. College courses below the 1000-level will not be weighted. All Hathaway courses must be approved by the WDE s Hathaway Team. Additionally, AP courses must be approved by the College Board, and IB courses must be approved by the International Baccalaureate program. Starting in the 2018-19 school year, all student transcripts must include the weighted Hathaway GPA. The weighted GPA does not apply to any students who graduate before the 2018-19 school year. Beginning in the 2018-19 school year, all AP, IB, and Dual/Concurrent Enrollment courses students are taking or have previously taken will be weighted. Students do not have to take an AP test in order to receive a weighted grade. Students taking Dual/Concurrent Enrollment courses do not need to receive college credit from those courses in order to receive a weighted grade. Insert Title 25
