Suppressed Grades
Repeated Course for Credit Grade Suppression is a process that replaces a previously stored failing grade with a new stored grade. Local boards of education may develop policies that define specific circumstances when students other than those who fail a course may repeat a course for credit. The steps below provide guidance on updating the suppressed grade for an individual transcript record.
Navigation: Select Student > Student Information > General > Transcripts
- Select the transcript grade that should be suppressed.
- Locate the Scoring Information section and update the GPA Weight to 0.
- Locate the Transcript Credit Information section and update the following fields:
- Credits Earned = 0
- Credits Attempted = 0
- Credit Type = Suppressed
- Click Save to update the suppressed transcript grade.
The suppressed grade should no longer display on the NC Official Transcript report.
If the suppressed grade is still showing on the NC Official Transcript report, follow the steps to see if the School Standard Setup is correct.
Navigation: Grading & Standards > Standards Setup > School Standard Setup
The SU credit group should be unchecked.
Middle School for High School Credit Courses
For courses that are scheduled during a school year, the credit type is set in the final grade grading task. The credit type should reflect the corresponding High School credit the grade will count for. e.g. English I (HS Credit) would have a credit type of ELA. When entering a grade manually, the corresponding credit type should display correctly.
Please use the Transcripts | Infinite Campus article for step-by-step instructions on adding transcript grades for students.

Refer to the chart below for key points related to NC information:
| Field | NC Information |
|---|---|
| Course Number | Should have a "Y" as the 6th digit. |
| GPA Weight | Should be 0 as all middle school for high school credit courses should not count in GPA. |
| Credits Earned | Enter a value of 1. |
| Credits Attempted | Automatically populates based on the course number. |
| Credit Type | Automatically populates based on the course number. This should be a High School Credit type based on the corresponding course. e.g. NC Math 1 (HS Credit) should get a Mathematics credit type. |

How GPA Is Calculated
To calculate a student’s GPA, use the following formula:
Cumulative GPA = Sum of GPA Points Earned ÷ Sum of GPA Weights
GPA Points Earned are determined by the GPA Value * GPA Weight (see the following tables).
GPA Weight equals the number of credits attempted, if the score should be counted in GPA. If a score should not be counted in GPA, the GPA weight will be zero.
This method aligns with standard practices used across U.S. high schools and colleges.
For official guidance, refer to NC State Board of Education Policy GRAD-009.
One-Credit Courses
Most high school courses are worth 1 credit and count in GPA, meaning the GPA Weight is 1. Use the chart below to determine GPA points earned based on the score:
| Final Score | GPA Value | GPA Points Earned (Value * Weight) |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | 4.00 | 4.00 |
| 80–89 | 3.00 | 3.00 |
| 70–79 | 2.00 | 2.00 |
| 60–69 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
| 0–59 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
Two-Credit Courses
Some courses (like certain CTE classes) are worth 2 credits and count in GPA. These have a GPA Weight of 2. Use the chart below to determine GPA points earned based on the score:
| Final Score | GPA Value | GPA Points Earned (Value * Weight) |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | 4.00 | 8.00 |
| 80–89 | 3.00 | 6.00 |
| 70–79 | 2.00 | 4.00 |
| 60–69 | 1.00 | 2.00 |
| 0–59 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
Courses worth other values
Although rare, courses can be worth credit values other than 1 or 2. If they should be included in GPA, set the GPA Weight equivalent to the number of credits a course is worth.
🚫 Courses That Do Not Count Toward GPA
Any course that should be excluded from GPA calculations will have the GPA Weight of 0. Some examples are:
Middle School Courses for High School credit
Credit Recovery (XR)
Pass/Fail (P/F) courses
Courses marked AUD, CDM, WP, or WF
🧮 Sample GPA Calculation
| Course | Credits Attempted | GPA Weight | Score | GPA Value | GPA Points Earned |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 92 | 4.0 | 4.0 |
| Course 2 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 86 | 3.0 | 3.0 |
| Course 3 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 78 | 2.0 | 4.0 |
| Course 4 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 98 | 4.0 | 2.0 |
| Course 5 (CR) | 1.0 | 0.0 | P | 0.0 | 0.0 |
Sum of GPA Points Earned: 13.0
Sum of GPA Weights: 4.5
✅ Final GPA:
13.0 ÷ 4.5 = 2.889
