Four (4) percentage points shall be added to the grades used to calculate the semester average for dual
enrollment courses taken by a student at an institution of higher education (IHE). The district will use the
process below if the institution of higher education (IHE) does not assign numeric final grades.
- If the IHE does not provide a final numerical grade, the following conversion chart will be used to
ensure the additional points are awarded in a consistent manner.
| Letter Grade Received from IHE | Numerical Grade Conversion | KCS Grade |
| A+ | 96 | 100-A |
| A | 95 | 99-A |
| A- | 93 | 97-A |
| B+ | 90 | 94-A |
| B | 88 | 92-B |
| B- | 85 | 89-B |
| C+ | 83 | 87-B |
| C | 79 | 83-C |
| C- | 75 | 79-C |
| D+ | 72 | 76-C |
| D | 70 | 74-D |
| D- | 68 | 72-D |
| F | 65 | 69-F |
- If the IHE provides a final numerical grade, 4 percentage points will be added to the numerical grade for the high school transcript.
- In the event the IHE provides a final numerical grade which equals a lower KCS letter grade after
adding the 4 percentage points than the IHE transcript, the higher of the two will be entered on the
KCS transcript. (Ex: The student receives a 70% C from the IHE. When 4 points are added, the
student has a 74% D. The student would then be awarded a 75% C for the high school transcript
grade.)
Note: The district can only accept transcript grades from the IHE. Students report cards and/or
communications cannot be applied to the uniform grading policy.
