Grading

The High School at Moorpark College operates on a semester calendar with an A-F grading system. A “grade bump”  is given for honors and college courses. One 3-unit college semester course represents 10 high school credits or an entire year. Students are issued one progress grade report per semester; however, only semester grades appear on the student’s permanent record at the end of each semester.
