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
• Online Credit Recovery (OCR) is a credit recovery
option offered at Summit.
• See your counselor for more information!!
CLEARING ABSENCE FAILS

semester, you will have to repeat the class, gain it through credit
through OCR or pass a CBE.
