WHAT IS A TRANSCRIPT
A TRANSCRIPT IS A REPORT CARD FOR EVERY COURSE YOU TAKE
WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
• This record follows you to each school you attend
until you graduate from high school. Even after you
graduate, your high school Transcript will be
requested by schools you attend for higher
education. Your future bosses and persons
interested in your work ethic may want to see the
effort you were willing to put forth during your high
school years.
HOW STUDENTS ARE CLASSIFIED
• We base your grade level on the number of credits
that you have earned, not on the number of years
that you have been in high school.
• 0.0 – 5.5 Credits = Freshman
• 6.0 -11.5 Credits = Sophomore
• 12.0 – 18.5 Credits = Junior
• 19.0 + Credits = Senior
HOW CAN I RECOVER CREDITS

recovery option offered at Summit.
