Maximum Credit Guidelines1. A regular schedule consists of six classes of 30 credits.2. A student may take an additional 10 credits per semester through

a combination of regular schedule, CART, Adult School, ROP, etc. with counselor permission.

3. Students may request to take an additional 5 credits for a schedule counting 45 credits with site approval.

4. Credits beyond 45 or 55 per semester require district administrative approval.

Pass (Grade of P)A student receives credit, but the grade is not used in computing the

student’s G.P.A.

Report CardsThree report cards are issued per semester - at six weeks, at twelve weeks,

and at eighteen weeks. All report cards, six & twelve-week progress/deficiency grade reports and 18-week (semester) grades are mailed home.

Withdrawal Failure (WF)A student may initiate the dropping of a class, without penalty, until the end

of the fourth week of each semester. After that date, withdrawal will result in a “WF” grade on the student’s transcript that will be computed in their overall GPA.

Class Rank - (Ranked after 7th Semester)This is an optional field on the student transcript that may be included/

excluded for college applications based upon student/parent preferences.

The Governing Board acknowledges the usefulness of and authorizes a system of computing grade point averages and class ranking. The objectives are to: (1) provide information for school and district awards, and (2) provide employers and institutions of higher learning a predictive device so students are placed in the appropriate environment conducive to success. The Governing Board recognizes the value of curricular subjects and wishes to honor many students for their academic success. Therefore, class rank shall be computed by the grades earned in Board-approved courses.

A student’s grade point average and both a non-weighted and weighted class rank (OPTIONAL) shall be entered on the student record and shall be subject to the Governing Board’s policy on release of student records. The weighted class rank is provided as a service to assist students in college admission, but is not used within the CUSD system to identify Valedictorian or Salutatorian status. A weighted class rank may be used by individual high school sites to identify students for special awards of distinction.

Computing Grade Point AverageA student receives five semester credits or units for each class during a

semester in which a passing grade (A, B, C, D, P) is earned. No credit is awarded at the six-week or twelve-week report cards. Grades at those times are progress reports to the student and parent. The cumulative grade point average is computed by awarding grade points (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) for all classes with the exception that the scale (A=5, B=4, C=3, D=1) is used for classes that the District submits to the University of California for the awarding of an extra grade point (Advanced Placement courses). The class rank for graduating seniors is based upon the cumulative grade point average for seven semesters.

College Preparatory Course (P)Any course designated by (P) or (HP) is a college preparatory course that

satisfies one of the criteria established by the CSU/UC system in its “A-G” college entrance requirements.

Repeatable CoursesCertain courses are repeatable for credit (i.e. Advanced Band). See your

counselor for more information.

Repeating a CourseA student may petition to substitute a grade by repeating a course with the

following understanding and conditions:

1. Only a class/course completed in CUSD for original credit may be considered on this request form.

2. A class/course may be repeated only once.3. A class/course may NOT be repeated if a more advanced course in the same

subject area has been taken.4. The grade received in the repeated course will appear on the transcript (higher

or lower). The original attempt will appear on the transcript with a -0- in the attempted & earned credit column.

5. A student who repeats a course will not be considered for Valedictorian at graduation if the revised GPA is 4.0 or higher.

Honors Level ClassAny class designated by “HP” is an honors level (Advanced Placement) course

that satisfies the criteria established by the UC/CSU systems. The universities will also grant an additional grade point for a passing grade in an honors level class (“HP”) when computing its grade point average for admission review. The University of California may grant credit for Advanced Placement exams on which a student scores 3 or higher. The credit may be subject to credit, graduation credit, or credit toward general education or breadth requirements, as determined by evaluators at each UC campus. Other Honors (P) sections of other selected classes are offered at the school sites that enrich the course of study of the regular course (i.e. Honors English 9, Honors Biology, etc.). These courses do not receive extra grade points for passing grades in the admissions review process.

Incomplete Grade (INC)A semester incomplete (INC) grade may be issued by a teacher, with

administrative approval, when a student has not completed the course requirements due to an extended absence or extenuating circumstances. The student will have up to six weeks to complete the required work and receive a passing grade. An incomplete grade not resolved by that time will be changed to an “F.”

Mandatory Interim Student Records FoldersMandatory Interim Student Records (formerly cum) folders must follow

students from school to school and district to district. School districts, by law, are allowed to keep the original folder in their possession and forward a photocopy to the school of subsequent student enrollment. Parents have entitlement to all documents kept in their student’s folder, and by request, may receive photocopies of all pertinent information for a nominal fee. Folders must be destroyed following the third school year after students’ attendance ceases.

Academic Policies

6

Academic Policies for Co-Curricular& Extra- Curricular Participation

The Board establishes the following standards with the intention that any student participating in a co-curricular or extracurricular activity, grades 7-12, will maintain a grade point average for all classes and minimum progress toward high school graduation that demonstrates satisfactory course work. Each school site is directed to develop a plan to provide monitoring and assistance to individual students in order to satisfy these standards. The adoption of this policy concurrently satisfies the requirements of the California Education Code (Section 35160.5) and the California Interscholastic Federation (Bylaw 205).

Grade Point Average RequirementA student must earn at least a 2.0 grade point average in all enrolled classes

for the prior grading period in order to participate in co-curricular activities. A student who fails to achieve at least a 2.0 grade point average will be placed on probation for the current grading period provided the student complies with the school’s tutorial assistance program. A student who does not achieve at least a 2.0 grade point average during the probationary period shall not be allowed to participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities in the subsequent grading period.

Progress Toward GraduationThe following number of accumulated units toward high school graduation

will be the standard for minimum achievement and continuing eligibility.

Sophomore, Fall Semester 55 units

Sophomore, Spring Semester 80 units

Junior, Fall Semester 110 units

Junior, Spring Semester 135 units

Senior, Fall Semester 165 units

Senior, Spring Semester 195 units

A student who does not accumulate the required number of units toward high school graduation may be placed on probation for the current semester. A student who does not achieve the necessary number of units by the end of the probationary semester shall not be allowed to participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities in the following semester.

Written NotificationThe school will provide written notification whenever a student is placed

on probation or becomes ineligible for co-curricular and/or extracurricular participation under the standards of this policy.

School’s Tutorial Assistance ProgramThe school site program must include a minimum of two hours of tutorial

assistance (study table) at the intermediate school level and three hours at the high school level per week. Progress checks and parent communication should be included on a regular basis.

Summer SchoolSummer school grades may be combined with grades from the last grading

period in computing the grade point average to determine eligibility for the first grading period of the next school year.

Academic Policies for Co-Curricular & Extra- Curricular Participation

End of Grading Period/SemesterA school must declare students eligible, ineligible, or on probation on the

same day following the close of the previous grading period. This date should be set to allow for accuracy in the issuance of grades and the determination of grade point averages.

Intermediate to High SchoolGrades earned during the last grading period of the eighth grade must be

used to determine probation/eligibility for the first grading period of the ninth grade. (Performance in Summer School may determine student placement in some High School courses), and eligibility in co-curricular programs.

Transfer StudentsA transfer student is subject to all the conditions of the grade point average

requirement. If a transfer student is below the standards for accumulated units toward high school graduation, a school can implement a probationary period if the following conditions are met:

1. A written plan of course work for the student to catch up on credits within twelve months (or the graduation ceremony for a senior) is developed. The plan is to be submitted to the Area Assistant Superintendent for approval.

2. The student must attend the Tutorial Assistance Program (weekly study table).

3. The student must circulate a progress report every two weeks. The report must show passing grades in all classes for an additional two weeks probation with at least a 2.0 grade point average.

4. The sequence of two week probationary periods can be granted up through the twelve months of the education plan if conditions (2) and (3) are satisfied.

College Scholarships & Financial Aid

During recent years, education costs have risen steadily. As a result, students and their families must carefully weigh the monetary investment of an education - and also thoroughly investigate possible sources of financial assistance. The primary goal of financial aid is to make possible student access to educational/training opportunities by removing financial barriers which would exclude financially needy, but otherwise eligible, students from specific schools and programs. Although certain scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of academic excellence, high competitive test scores, and other non-need factors, the expression “financial aid” normally assumes the existence of some degree of financial need. The simple need definition, or equation is:

(Education costs) - (Family resources) = Need

In general, if students are uncertain regarding their ability to meet an expected educational budget, they should submit the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE and/or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and apply to the college of their choice for financial aid. Students should also apply directly for any scholarships sponsored by individuals, organizations, and institutions for which they might qualify.

Scholarship information is available at the various high schools. For additional sources of financial assistance. See your counselor for more information.

Advanced Studies

Advanced Studies classes are offered in CUSD. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered at Buchanan High School, Clovis High School, Clovis East High School, Clovis North High School, Clovis West High School and Clovis Online High School.

Advanced Placement (AP)The Advanced Placement (AP) program is a cooperative endeavor that helps

able high school students complete college-level courses and permits colleges to evaluate, acknowledge, and encourage that accomplishment through the granting of appropriate credit and/or placement. The AP program is national in scope; its policies are determined by representatives of the College Board member institutions and agencies throughout the country (public and private secondary schools, colleges, and universities) and are implemented by the College Board.

Advanced Placement exams are offered each spring. Students successful in AP courses generally have adequate preparation for these three-hour long, comprehensive exams. Each exam is administered once a year during the second and third weeks in May. Most colleges award credits and/or advanced placement for demonstrated subject area proficiency. College entrance with sophomore standing is available through the AP program at cooperating colleges. Additional information about the AP program is available in the site supplement and in the counselors’ offices.

Students choosing to take an AP Examination are subject to a test fee which is charged by the College Board. Reduced fee applications, due to financial hardship, are available in the counselor’s office.

UnitrackThe Unitrack program is in partnership with CSU, Fresno. Students in 11th

and/or 12th grade may enroll in designated high school college prep courses and by paying a nominal fee to CSU Fresno, may receive up to 8 CSU credits per semester through Fresno State, for successful completion of the course. There is no test other than course assessments required of students. Consult your school counselor for additional information.

Testing

Pre-College, Career Guidance

Standardized TestsStandardized tests provide useful information for post-secondary admissions

officers, career counselors, academic advisors, and students. Post secondary admissions officers use ACT, SAT I and SAT II scores, with the high school academic record, to predict college admission. Career counselors use interest inventories, aptitude batteries, and working-style assessments. Academic advisors use test data to select courses and majors. Students obtain objective information for good decision-making.

Aptitude tests are designed to measure potential for success in specific areas. Achievement tests assess recall and application of knowledge or skills acquired previously. Interest inventories identify areas of likes and dislikes. Working-style assessments isolate the type of setting in which one prefers to work.

College Entrance Exams

American College Test (ACT) is an achievement test emphasizing analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Scores are given in English, math, reading, and science reasoning; career guidance information is provided. The test is administered six times a year. This is a college admission test taken in the spring of the junior year or the fall of the senior year.

Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT/NMSQT) measures verbal (vocabulary and reading comprehension) and math abilities. The test is an excellent exposure to pre-college testing and when taken in the junior year is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship competition. This test is administered once a year in October.

Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) measures verbal, writing, and mathematics abilities. This college admission test is given seven times a year.

Scholastic Aptitude Subject Test offered in 15 areas from English, social science, math, science, and foreign language. Many competitive colleges require tests in three areas (writing, mathematics, and the third of the student’s choice). Check college catalogs to determine which subject tests are required. Up to three tests may be taken on one date, but the SAT Subject Test cannot be taken on the same day that a student takes the SAT. This test is best taken upon completion of the related course.

Additional information and applications for the college admission tests are available in the counselors’ offices.

College Board test fee reductions or waivers are available to students with demonstrated financial need. Contact the

counselors as soon as possible before registering for the exams.

Career Guidance MeasuresArmed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) consists of ten short

sections designed to measure skills and knowledge essential to military and civilian career specialties. Taking this free test does not obligate one to the armed forces, but may provide valuable insight for the student.

The Special Education Departments at each high school site provide a continuum of services to meet the needs of students with identified disabilities. The Individualized Education Program developed by the IEP team will determine the necessary support/services for students with exceptional needs. The Individual Education Program provides options within the Resource Specialist Program, Vocational Certificate Program, Functional Life Skills Program or Adolescent Intervention Program.

The Resource Specialist Program (RSP) provides services designed to accommodate special needs students who are capable of meeting the state and district approved standards for graduation with a diploma. Students who receive RSP services may be served through consultation, or supported classrooms as determined by the student’s Individual Education Program. Students receiving consultation or supported classroom RSP services are instructed in the general education classrooms by general education teachers and special education staff to provide appropriate instruction and accommodations for the student in the general education curriculum.

The Vocational Certificate Program uses an alternative curriculum to prepare students for the workforce upon leaving high school. It focuses on academics that match student abilities and interests as well as providing skills needed for the future. Through this program, students will have the opportunity to develop prevocational and independent skills that will prepare them to be successful, productive and self-sufficient members of their community. Upon completion of the Vocational Certificate Program, students will earn a Vocational Competency Certificate and Vocational Competency Checklist based on skills mastered for the Secretaries Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS).

The Functional Life Skills Program uses an alternative curriculum designed for students with disabilities whose educational needs cannot be met through the Clovis Unified School District’s general education curriculum frameworks. Students in this program must complete the minimum number of units required by each high school to earn a Certificate of Completion. Coursework includes P.E., English, Math, Occupational Guidance, Daily Living, and Personal/Social Skills.

The Adolescent Intervention Program (AIP) is a highly structured and restrictive therapeutic program designed for high school aged students with severe social, emotional, and behavior needs. These students require a high level of structure and supervision which is not feasible in hte general education classroom. Students in this program have the option of earning a diploma, a Vocational Competency or a Certificate of Completion based on the students Individual Education Program.
